If youve always had an interest in the history of arcade games then you must get this.Several old Namco titles are all emulated onto one disc in all their glory.Its best used with the wireless Wave Bird.There are titles on here like Pac Man Assortment and Dig Dug. Its a great deal cause its not just 1 game its actually several(!). Anyways,there is a new Ninja Turtle game?Awesome.I just hope it will be awesome and not a piece of [junk].You never know it could go either way.Rent it first.

Way retro-cool!

This is a great game, I never knew how much fun arcade games were until now!!!! My mom loves it, and it was her X-mas present. It's awesome to have the original games, plus a bunch of new, improved-graphics ones. My sister likes playing Galaga and my brother loves Pac-Man. The only con is you can only have two players.

Classic action

It's a great game but I suggest you rent it unless you grew up with these games. The action will wear off fast and the game will become obsolete within a month tops. That's about a dollar a day. Is it worth it?

A great collection of classic Namco games

This collection is pretty much identical to the Namco arcade collection that I've seen in several video arcades, except that it replaces Rally-X (a real dog) with Pole Position I/II. Frankly, for the price they're selling it for these days, you can't go wrong.

You get:

Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man
Pac-Man Arrangement (a modern version with more ghosts, more mazes, and new items)

Galaga
Galaxian
Galaga Arrangement (again, a modern version with better graphics and more powerups)

Pole Position
Pole Position II

Dig-Dug
Dig-Dug Arrangement (better graphics, more enemies, a few new features)

And there are two hidden games you can unlock by getting decent scores in Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man:

Pac-Attack (Pac-man tetris? Weird...)
Pac-World (a 3-D pacman where you can jump -- kinda strange, but seen it in arcades before)

That's 12 games for $20. Do the math.

The only thing I wish is that they provided you with more information on the games' history (it is called Namco *Museum*, after all); however, the emulation is perfect, and they even included the original arcade cabinet artwork around the game screens. I can't complain. I grew up playing games like these on the Atari and in the arcades (my father actually owned a Dig-Dug upright cabinet), and this is a great compilation. Heartily recommended for any video game collector or fan.

12 games or just 5?

Let's see what we have here.
5 original titles:
~ Pac Man
~ Dig Dug
~ Pole Position
~ Galaga
~ Pac Attack (an original in this case because the gameplay does not resemble any other NAMCO game)
4 sister titles:
~ Ms. Pac Man
~ Galaxian
~ Pole Position 2
~ Pac Mania
and 3 enhancments:
~ Dig Dug Arranged
~ Pac Man Arranged
~ Galaga Arranged
and you can only play Pac Attack and Pac Mania once you have unlocked them -- 20,000 points in Pac Man for Pac Mania; 10,000 points in Ms. Pac Man for Pac Attack, or is it the other way around?
Anyway, that's what you get, all of them in arcade-perfect condition. Since I love Ms. Pac so much, I would have taken Pac Man out and put a completely different game in, assuming 12 was my maximum.
Fans of NAMCO Museum Volume 3 will may be dissapointed that there is no virtual museum to walk around and look at stuff. Sorry.
I'll still recommend this package to any classic NAMCO fan simply because it's a part of history that should never be forgotten, and it's available on all three of the latest video game consoles as of September 29th, 2003.

fun

We have an 8 year old boy who we originally purchased the Game Cube for last year but we also have a 3 and 4 year old boys who wanted in on the action. This is the first Game Cube game that my 3 and 4 year old can actually play all by themselves with NO HELP or COACHING from mom or dad. They are capable of playing every game offered on the Namco Museum disc and they don't get frustrated easily as they do with Mickey's Magical Mirror, Scooby-Doo or Sponge Bob and the Flying Dutchman. The Namco Musuem disc is so basic that my 3 and 4 year old understand the concept....munch as many dots, shoot as many space ships, etc. Unlike other games, you don't have to problem solve, it is all based on your skill with the wavebird. My 8 year old really enjoys the Namco disc as well. Granted the spectacular graphics of the games mentioned vs. Namco Museum don't compare, but having a young child enjoy a game without getting frustrated for a solid 1/2 hour is priceless. Parents who have been there will understand what I mean. It is a great classic disc to have for the little ones to play what big brother is playing and feel they are doing it well.

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!
