  1. A shining example of what an arcade collection can and should be, featuring plenty of takes on classic arcade favorites accessed through a friendly, polished interface.
  2. Namco is so faithful to the aspect ratio of the original games that the screen is often wee tiny. [Aug 2002, p.144]

    An adventurous trip to the seaside arcade would be more rewarding than this.

    These are a good collection of old games with some updated options available - Galaga was a favorite of mine & my daughter and now my nearly 6 yr old grandson. I love the new version where you can play and restart from where you were. The controller does not seem to respond as well as an arcade joystick did for playing but we still spend hours playing them. Lots of replay value to us. Expand
