I loved the classic versions of the games (particularly Pacman and Galaxian) and the newer versions have cool graphics. Recommended for the generation that grew up in the 80s.

I REALLY LIKE THE NAMCO GAME. IT BRINGS ME BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL DAYS WHEN I HAD THE GAME PN 8-BIT OR COULD PLAY IT ON THE ARCADE. ANY BODY THAT LIKES ACTION GAMES WOULD LOVE THIS ONE!

Not so Great..

Was disappointed that game had only 3 retro games I really liked; Pac-man, Ms. Pac-man and Galaxian.
Namco could have put more interesting games on the Collection

Great classics

Game offers classic versions which are more difficult than I recall. It is also fun because it has re-mixes of my some of my favorite games and they are actually better than the originals!

For the old Atari and C64 freaks

Yeah if you are like me from the old Atari days and owning a C64 then this game will get you 20 years back in no time!
The cool thing is that this CD holds the original versions and some reworked ones that are a little different, but so much fun. I have always been a PacMan fan and own the game on pretty much every platform, so the PSP was a no brainer also.
I would say, if you have some money to spare and looking for an oldie, this one is awesome. The variaty is great.
Cons: I was missing some games like Missile Command and Space Invaders, but then, they are not really Namco ones. I guess, the Atari revived game is more for that...

The best compilation!

Arcade Games on the PSP

I can remember back in the early 1980's when games such as Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig-Dug were all the rage. Looking back to those days, I can recall spending most of my allowance in the arcades, playing Dig-Dug and Tempest. Eventually, I grew up, moved on to college, and forgot about video games. It was the introduction of Sony's Playstation that got my interest back in games.

The first Namco Battle Museum came out for the Playstation. I bought it, ofcourse. I also bought Tempest, for the Playstation. I did not enjoy playing some of the games, like Dig-Dug, on my Playstation because the analog stick would not work. I did not like playing Dig-Dug with the directional buttons. And so, I packed the game disc in a box and has not touched it since.

Recently, I purchased an XBox 360. I downloaded Dig-Dug and other arcade games from the Marketplace and started playing these classic games again. I wanted a portable version for my Sony PSP and bought this copy, from a seller here at Amazon.

The games have been updated to work with an analog stick. I can now use the analog stick/button on my PSP to control Dig-Dug, for example. The games are fun again. And this time, I can take the game with me. I can play these classic arcade games on my PSP, wherever I am.

I can easily recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a casual game for their Sony PSP. The graphics are actually much better than the Playstation version. Also, the PSP's WiFi capability will allow you to play against other players, just like you did back when you were in high school (yeah, I'm old).

How does the game play on the PSP? For the most part, playing these games on the Sony portable is satisfying. Ofcourse, you do not have the same controls as the old arcade machines. However, in all fairness, neither can you carry an old arcade machine in your coat pocket. So it is a fair trade-off. If you really want the arcade experience, then get the PS2 version.

Best of both worlds

This game features the original nostalgic versions of games such as PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Galaxian, and Rally X. Players who grew up in this era of classics (like me) can relive all the fun and excitement of these timeless titles again just like they did when they we're younger without pumping quarters into the arcade machines.

For new players, the game features arrangement versions of 4 of the classic games. These are remakes of some of the classic games with new features and updated 3D graphics. Younger players will feel right at home with the 3D graphics but players who experienced the original versions will also appreciate these additions as they experience some of their childhood favorites in a new 3D variation.

Other features are wireless play over WLAN (Ad Hoc) and a game sharing feature which allow PSP owners who do not yet have the game to experience a taste of the classic gaming world.

Great Game!

Namco Museum Battle Collection for the PSP is a good group of classic games that are great fun to have on the go. This set includes even more games than some of the Namco Classics discs for the home consoles, so it is a great value. If you like classic gaming compilations, then you should enjoy this game.
