For Arcade Classics, we highlight titles that exemplify the type of “just one more quarter” gameplay found in the classic arcades of a bygone era. These Arcade Classics have found a new home on the Legends Arcade Family of products, where their timeless, approachable gameplay can be enjoyed by new generations of players.

This week’s Arcade Classics highlights two great TAITO arcade games, The Electric Yo-Yo and Zoo Keeper. Both games are built into the Legends Ultimate and Legends Gamer series and feature full leaderboard support.

In The Electric Yo-Yo, which first hit arcades in 1982, you need to collect all dots on the playfield with your yo-yo while dealing with enemies.
