Customer Reviews
The video games we used to play as kids....
My 9 year old son received a GameCube for Christmas and the 2 games he received were WaveRunner and Luigi's Mansion. Both of those games he liked, however I have motion sickness bad and cannot play alot of the games they have out now because of all the movement. I specifically bought this Namco Museum for me and guess what everybody loves it! It is great to be able to show my son some of the older games we used to play as kids. I just wish it had Centipede on it..That would be great. Enjoy all you Pacman and Galaga fans....
Excellent. I highly recommend!
I remember when Galaga came out in the arcades. There were lines of people waiting to play it including me. This Namco collection is arcade perfect. I also LOVE the revamped versions of Pacman and Galaga. They are incredibly good in my opinion and highly addictive. This was the best $20 for the Cube that I have spent. Some people complain that the screen is small, but hey! The original Galaga was on a small horizontal screen as well, and the 25" monitors of today were unheard of. To me it just makes the game that much more perfect. I had a 10 yr old recommend this game to me! I couldn't believe it, he was not even alive when it originally came out and he said next to Smash Bro's, this was his second favorite game. 20 yrs and still kicking. GO AND BYE IT. Can't beat it for $20.
classics revisited but missing something
I recieved this item for Christmas and was satisified with it. Games like Pacman and Pole Position bring back fond memories of my childhood. The games included are: Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Pole Position, Pole Position 2, Galaga, Galaxiga- as well as revamped versions of Dig Dug and Galaga. You can also unlock several games. The downside to this compilation is 1. the number of games- all in all theres really only 4-5 games to choose from. 2. the revamped version of Dig Dug is poor. Not that its poor in quality but the screen size is TINY and graphics are difficult to see. 3. All the game screens again are TINY, Pole Position and Pole Position 2 are exceptions- since they are full screen. All the other games have huge borders- I wish they were all full screen. Other than that its a decent compilation, but it left me wanting more (more games and full screen views). I recommend this if you are a big 80s game fan, only because if you've never played Pacman or Galaga you might be let down. Also the controls are difficult. For instance using the gamecube controller in pacman is just.. hard. You want to go straight but instead take a left= they're just very sensitive.
Great games but very few
All in all this disc offers everything an 80's aficionado would want. As a kid who grew up in the 80's i tend to lean towards arcade games that come from my generation. Its often hard to find a Galaga in good working order at the arcade so this purchase was a no brainer for me. However, there are some drawbacks. First of all there are too few games on here and the difference between each game is so minimal in some cases that its almost a crime (ie. Galaga and Galaxian). As a Galaga fan i was also disappointed by the timing on the laser fire. Its very slow and reminiscient of an early version of the game before the firing became more rapid. But in the end these gripes are rather shallow since for 20 dollars i was at least ensured a game console with a laser button that wouldnt get stuck in the fire position.
80's has it all, but I'm 9 years old.
I wasn't alive in the 80's, so I still get to play Pac-Man! My mom is a Pac-Man expert, and I love Pac-Man, and I bet that you have already guessed that this game has Pac-Man!(I like Ms.Pac-Man better if you ask me and so does my mom)My mom's wrist on the joystick is faster than....well....something REALY fast!!
This game also has Pole Position,(which my dad is good at) Dig Dug,(which I don't know anything about exept that you are supposed to dig) and Galaga.(which is a space game that I like)
and much,much more!(that I forgot about)And the good thing is, I have a GameCube! I've only rented this, but I want it for Christmas. My mom always complained about having to be lucky to find a Pac-Man or Ms.Pac-Man machine. Not anymore!
