    Arguably, there are other classics that should have been included, but it's an excellent sampling and a nice blast from the past if you're interested in walking down memory lane.

    One element I thought was pretty nifty was the fact that the screen displays each game exactly as it first appeared. What this means is you can look to the right side of the screen while playing Dig-Dug and see your score grow and post. I know it's a little thing, but really- it does help the game feel more like you're playing an actual arcade machine than a home television.

    A collection of Namco's most popular arcade games from the decade of big hair, and valley-speak, is now available on your Xbox video entertainment system (Like, totally!).

    This is just the games: no extras, no goodies, and no style. [Jan 2003, p.90]

    The biggest issue most gamers will have with this package is the obvious lack of the original control input devices, like the steering wheel for "Pole Position," or an arcade-joystick for "Pac-Man."

    A compilation this old and overused should have more than just some quickly ported games and a handful of awful filler titles.

    I mean, this is yet another Namco Museum game, but it's a good one. For the time, it had a lot to it and the unlockable games are good too. II mean, this is yet another Namco Museum game, but it's a good one. For the time, it had a lot to it and the unlockable games are good too. I just wish they were already there instead of having to be unlocked, but I guess that just gives a good excuse to do well in some of these games. I got this one mostly for the Arrangement games, cause they are a lot of fun.… Full Review »

    One of the very few games I owned on the OG Xbox as a kid, and if not for this compilation, I may have never experienced games like pac man,One of the very few games I owned on the OG Xbox as a kid, and if not for this compilation, I may have never experienced games like pac man, galaga, dig dug, you know, all of those classic arcade games.

Its a great compilation that I’m grateful to have had growing up, but theres little reason to get this version of the compilation when there are so many other options out there.… Full Review »
