Topic: IMPRESSIONS: Namco Museum

[WindyMan]

Re-arranged Galaga, Dig-Dug and Pac-Man?  Holy crap, I've got Pac-Man Fever!

Namco Museum for GameCube is yet another classic arcade compilation, featuring all of Namco's past games on one disc of love.  Throw out the graphics, because the old games and the new arrangements are full of old-skool fun.    

There are a lot more games on this version than there have been in any other version of Namco Museum, and that’s because Namco has included new versions of the old originals.  The games list is long, as you can see here:    

 
• Pac-Man  
• Ms. Pac-Man  
• Pac-Man Arrangement  
• Pac-Attack  
• Pac-Mania  
• Galaga  
• Galaga Arrangement  
• Pole Position  
• Pole Position II  
• Galaxian  
• Dig-Dug  
• Dig-Dug Arrangement  

   

Pac-Man Arrangement has already been seen in GBC form, but the two others remakes have not.  Dig-Dug Arrangement has been given a nice face-lift, and also is a bit faster than the original game.  Galaga Arrangement is quite easily the most fun game on the menu, with brand new attack patterns, enemies, and even the capability to wipe out an entire squadron of fighters with a single shot.  It’s very fun to play the classic with all the new backgrounds and gameplay features, and many of the games have 2-player co-op modes as well, which is also a blast to play.    

Definitely look out for this game if you think that arcade classics are superior, as this game is, for sure.
