That was quick! After teasing a number of upcoming Arcade Archives games last weekend at the 2019 Tokyo Game Show, Hamster has already released one of them: Taito's 1982 title, Time Tunnel.
This is an action game that requires players to pass each stage and then pass through the time tunnel! You'll have to connect train carriages, pick-up passengers and then transport them to the space station, while "skillfully" changing the railway points to maneuverer the train and avoid any incoming obstacles.
As always, this Hamster release faithfully reproduces the original experience and allows players to change various game settings. Players can also compete against high scores from around the world. This one will set you back $7.99 / £6.29 and supports 1-2 players.
Will you be adding Time Tunnel to your collection? Tell us below.

I love Taito. Is this good? Googling the title mostly brought up stuff about a TV show by the same name
Operation Wolf, Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders, Raystorm, Qix, Rastan, and Rainbow Islands please!!!
I've played it on MAME. It's not bad.
Man.. I have never heard of or even seen a screen shot of this game before! Doesn't look like something I would enjoy, but will keep an open mind until I see some videos of it.
It looks like a lot of fun, we never seem to got a proper port of it until now. As someone who loves trains I gotta get this.
Not interested in this particular one (not that I've ever tried, to be fair), but keep'em coming!
@Zach The arcade game (And the unrelated mid 1960's tv show) are both quite good.
Fans of early 80's arcade gaming will enjoy this one. I spent a lot of time playing it on one of the Taito Legends Volume 2 packs for the PS2 in Japan.
Does anyone know if Pole Position is on Hamster's to do list?
@Zach No, it isn't. TAITO is an incredible company with incredible games. This isn't one of them.
Hey TAITO, please bring Space Invaders Extreme 2 Switch Edition to this hybrid, would look great
