    Portable and pure, Namco Museum is an old-school must-own.

    With the exception of "Galaxian," each of these games are fantastic pick-up-and-play titles that offer a quick gaming fix.

    Despite those minor problems, the "pick up and play" for a short while nature of this kind of gaming makes it all but perfect for portable pocket gaming system like the GBA.

    All the games play incredibly well, though "Pole Position" suffers a bit without its original analog steering wheel. The games also sound just like their arcade counterparts.

    If you've got the retro bug, you could do much worse than this collection of Namco classics.
  6. Gaming Age

    Despite a few issues, it's quite a nice collection.

    Just a simple cash-in on some old properties that are beginning to show their age.

    Namco Museum is very limited. Five games on a Namco Museum is a pretty short list. While the five games are good, it is still not many. TheNamco Museum is very limited. Five games on a Namco Museum is a pretty short list. While the five games are good, it is still not many. The only reason I bought it was because it was like $3 and it came with a box. Other Namco Museums like Namco Museum DS and Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary less simple and involves way more, so I suggest those instead. Overall, decent game.… Expand
