TAITO LICENSED GAMES HARDWARE
[ BACK TO MAIN PAGE ] - [ TAITO HARDWARE PAGE ]
 
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Taito and TAMCO (Taito AMerica COrporation) bought the distribution rights to a great many games throughout it's existance. This was to distribute in America or Japan, as most of the smaller companies in Japan and the USA had no distribution arms in the eithers respective country, and Taito had a strong presence in both.
They are included in my list as they are, as far as anyone from the USA and Japan are concerned, from Taito, so to avoid confusion they are listed here, and I think its also important and useful to keep track of them as well ;)
Listed next to the year is which part of Taito distributed the game, and which company they licensed it from.
