Namco Museum

4 stars (Pretty good) - These are great renditions of the arcade classics though they aren't identical (i.e. they don't seem to be emulated). One concrete thing I noticed that is different than the original is that in Galaga, I think stage 10 is an exact duplicate of stage 1 in the arcade, but on this game it's just another harder level than the one before it. Pole Position is the most satisfying to play because it was designed with a horizontal monitor in the arcade so the entire screen on the GBA is used (with no scrolling). Dig Dug is the second best, because although it scrolls, the character's movements aren't so fast that the scrolling disorients you. Galaga and Galaxian are fun, but the screen are tiny because they had to squeeze a vertical arcade screen onto a horizontal display. Ms Pac Man is good, but it's a little hard to play with the scrolling, because you can't see where the ghosts are all the time. It's especially difficult when things get fast at the upper levels. You can play Ms. Pac Man without scrolling, but the screen is so small it's no fun that way. That's about all I can say about it. It was fun. I played it for a few weeks before pulling the cart out and putting it on the shelf. 5 stars (Great fun) - I really enjoy the games because they are not so hard that I can't figure them out. That is why I am having fun!! 3 stars (Not nearly as good as the consular versions) - Actually, if you've never played a " Namco Museum " game before, then it's probably a good idea to start out with this version, because unlike its consular counterparts (of which there are many), it only offers four games, namely Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Pole Position. In Ms. Pac-Man, your objective is to score as many points as possible by running around a series of mazes and chomping what are known as "pac-dots" all while avoiding the four ghost enemies - Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. The gameplay of Dig Dug is similar to that of Ms. Pac-Man. You score po...
