	The Taito Project - Software Developers
		In the 1980's Taito was perhaps the biggest arcade manufacturer in the world, and had contracts with Kaneko, Seibu, Seta, SNK, Technos, Toaplan, UPL, etc. It was Taito who manufactured several games developed by these small, newly created, game companies; even Data East and Nintendo made games for Taito at one time or another.
		Many games that are known to have the "(c) Taito" text on the title screen aren't even mentioned on this section, this section is designed to identify games, that are proven to have been manufactured by Taito in their country of origin, but were not developed by Taito.
		Taito is still involved in the manufacture of other SNK games of the time, but those are no longer "Taito games" and are not included on the Taito Project database.

		Taito Corporation said the new machine, which will go on sale in Japan this summer, will automatically adjust the pitch of the song to the singer.
		He said Taito had no immediate plans to introduce the machine abroad.
		The impact of a poor karaoke singer on the general public is minimised in Japan, because the entertainment is enjoyed in intimate rooms called "karaoke boxes" which hold up to 15 people rather than in front of big pub audiences, as in the West.

	Taito Legends Review (Xbox)
		But yes, it is definitely something that makes this game, which is one of Taito’s top arcade releases, one of the titles that seems to suffer the most from its transition to the home console.
		While most of these games probably won’t get much more than a few plays just to check them out, there are a handful of great games that have stood the test of time, particularly for anyone who actually remembers playing them when their were originally released.
		These are the basics of gaming and they still hold up quite well and are sure to give gamers of all ages hours of enjoyment for many years to come.

		Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders and Operation Wolf are just three of the 29 games in the Taito Legends pack, which is released on October 14.
