Title: WTB : Taito Landing High Japan or Landing Gear
Post by: DarthNuno on April 08, 2015, 09:26:15 AM

Title says all.
I'm looking for a Taito Landing High Japan or TAITO Landing Gear.
Not common games but who knows?
Thx.

Many many years ago I knew someone with one, they had a warehouse in Germany with over 300 games. It's where most of my games came from. There was a full Taito cockpit simulator Midnight Landing.

This was I believe the first in the series. It was the one pictured here:

Wow, I didn't know the existence of that Midnight Landing.
I remember having seen a TAITO Landing Gear few years ago in the'FUN LAND' game room at the Trocadero/London/UK.
...and I regret not trying it at the time, shame on me!
Is there some owners of these around?

Nha, it was a Taito Landing High Japan in fact, in 2007 during this Space Harrier road trip (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=213.0) :

Landing High Japan and Landing Gear have come up on UK eBay over the years. Not very often though!

I've never seen another Midnight Landing, probably vapourware by now.
