Taito made some great arcade games back in the day, some of which are more well-known than others.
One which got a fair amount of attention back in the days of 16-bit home computers wasΒ The New Zealand StoryΒ which, among other things, was part of a popular Commodore Amiga bundle. Naturally, owners of the Amiga’s big rival, the Atari ST, had a chance to get in on the action, too.

New Zealand, as beautiful a country as it is, is not a place that gets a lot of attention. I mean, it’s tucked away down there right in the corner of the map where everyone forgets about it.
However, back in 1988, the country left a sufficiently lasting impression on one of Taito’s programmers that, upon his return from holiday, he wanted to make it a setting for a new arcade game.
The result wasΒ The New Zealand Story.Β And it’s one of Taito’s most interesting games.
