Product Description: Namco Museum is your ticket back to the glory days of arcade gaming!
Amazon.com Product Description: This title includes six classic arcade hits: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, and Pole Position. Also included are all-new arrangement modes plus other hidden games.
Classic Galaga and Pac-Man are classics. DigDoug and Pole Position are only slightly more exciting than Tic-Tac-Toe. If you can find it for under $10 it will be worth it.
A great time for the 30+ crowd as well as kids! Talk about nostalgia! This game has it all! The old versions of our favorites, plus new arrangements that are also fun to play! I highly recommend this game to parents who want to get in on the video game action with some old school fun! I can actually PLAY these games...they are a reminder of simpler times.
Great This is a great mix of games and especially great for those who grew up playing the games on the Atari platform.
A great collection though sometimes the emulation is off par This collection consisits of some of my most favorite games of all time. When I was a kid, I used to love Ms. Pac-Man with a passion. Those vibrant colors of the mazes in its attract mode used to dazzle me. These games retain the child in me and I'm almost 27.
Pac-Man is 99% perfect and is great for long-term play, though I've always considered the old 'Return of Arcade' version my most favorite because of its massive reconfiguration options. Ms. Pac-Man falls short when it comes to its sound effects because the sound 'stutters' every half-second, though the play has nothing to do with it.
The Pole-Position games are not even close to the original arcade ports. They have been tinkered with exclusively for the Namco Museum collection. The tone of the traffic lights changing from red to red and finally to green has definetely changed to a more modern one which sounds kind of like a bell in contrast to other ports. A downer, but the games are still worth playing.
Galaxian is near arcade port, except the score is on the right side of the screen. I never really liked the game anyway. Galaga has been 'stretched' partially to fit the screen. Dig dug may not really be letterboxed wholly to fit the screen so it may scroll as you approach the bottom, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Overall this is a great collection for me. I'd choose this over the 50th Anniversary collection for the computer because that's not much better, if at all. But still may not be as good as the PSP version because I don't even have one! But I can do without one. Oh well.
After all, these are the same emulations used since Namco first started their collection on the original Playstation.
12 games for 9 bucks Yep thats right 12 games for 9 Bucks. No kidding. Yeah. But the only reason why i gave it 4 stars is the fact that yeah you get all of those games but you get 2 repeats (galaga, gal Im not saying i dont like the game (considering that i bought it solely for the galaga & ms pac man) but it should be more of a selection than just having all the galaga's Some might disagree with me but oh well. The fact that it has all these old original arcade titles loves it. It would be better with a regular tv rather than a wide screen, as all the games are narrow. Funplay its like being in the arcade all over again, difficulity- that digout game is the only one that i am having trouble with! and graphics (who cares) Your playing your favorite titles which is why you bought it so dont cry for mommy if its not in HD!
