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.
While the lack of a save function for your high scores hurts the overall package, it's worth giving a go for fans of the classics. And what's more, you don't have to put in quarters!
Reprises the old addictive favorites on the Game Boy Advance without any control, playability or screen limitations, and offers an excellent means to introduce the games to new fans or a trip down memory lane for veterans.
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.
While it may not be as good as it's PS2 brother do to less games, it's still a good purchase if your looking for some classic games on the go, the smaller screen hurts Mrs. Pacman because you need the whole screen to see what's going on, other than that the small screen isn't really a problem, a good game with a low asking price.
The games on here may be classics, but they do feel dated as a collection. You'll enjoy them for a while, but the high difficulty of each makes it hard to recommend. Of all the games, Dig Dug appears to be the one that is worth playing the most.
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. 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.
SummaryIncludes classic Namco arcade hits such as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug and Pole Position. But the fun doesn't stop there, since Namco has added all new arrangement modes plus other hidden games. [Namco]
