While the younger folks in the crowd may compose the key demographic for the Game Boy Advance, it never hurts to throw in a little goodness for the older folks in the crowd... like me! Certainly old Nintendo classics like the Mario titles and others are a great thing, but there is always a place in a classic gamer's heart for the old coin-op legends that gobbled up many quarters back in the day. Old schoolers, never fear... some classic arcade gaming is here!

All things considered this 4-pack Museum cartridge is actually touting a pretty stellar line-up. Usually with these compilations there are one or two great games anchoring a few weaker titles, but it appears that Namco is concerned with being sure people are going to get only the classics they want. For those who may need a poke to remember (or for the uninitiated) here's a quick rundown of what's on the plate:

Ms. Pac Man: Who said that video games in the old days were only for boys? While today female leads in games tend to have to have proportions that defy belief as well as gravity, back in the day things were simpler. Add a bow, some lipstick, and a trademark mole and suddenly you've got a simplistically sexy female version of Pac Man. The sequel to one of the most remembered classics of all time, Ms. Pac Man was more of a good thing and in many ways a little better. A little additional speed, a little better maze design, and all new cut-scenes (rendered in real time thank you) all made this game a classic in its own right...

Pole Position: Frighteningly enough, I can actually remember the first time I encountered this racing classic at a water park. People were crowded around as a middle-aged Mario Andretti ripped around the bends and hairpin turns, avoiding other cars as he went. For people who love this classic, one hopes that the music and immortal sounds of a funky female voice saying 'Prepare to Qualify' remain perfectly intact.

Galaga: While there were many shooting games in the classic era (among them Space Invaders, Gorf, Galaxian, and Phoenix) Galaga was probably the one that was the most popular, with its own unique flavor derived from challenge stages and the ability to let one of your ships be captured...only to be able to reunite with you, giving you double-fire action. Also, unlike some other classic shooters there are no shields to save your butt here, so be ready to dodge and weave the alien onslaught to stay alive.

Dig Dug: Probably one of the most unique concepts in classic video game design, Dig Dug challenged you to burrow your way around underground avoiding dragons and little goggled red ball guys (Fygars and Pookas for you true old schoolers), your only defense being craftily dropped boulders and your trusty air pump. While the game may be simple it was always oddly entertaining for some reason and is regarded by many as one of the best classics.

While certainly these games are nothing new (and compared to games from today they're downright simplistic), that can also serve as their allure. With portable gaming, the ability to pick up and play for 5-10 minutes and then be able to put it down again can be a solid selling point. While you could certainly log some hours on these classics, their essence is how quickly you're able to leap in and have some fun. Are you an old schooler yearning to revisit some classics? A younger gamer wondering what all of the hubbub is about? If you answered yes to one of the above, be sure to check this cart out.
