Reviews around classic (5.00 of 5)

  • Why on earth, on a title like this, would anyone get a high score and NOT want it saved????Basically the games themselves are all wonderful classics,all faithful to their original versions as far as I can tell, but a title like this should be optimized for SMOOTH and SEAMLESS transition from game to game;

Reviews around title (5.00 of 5)

  • Also, you would think a game like this would autosave your high scores, such as other titles from the "anthology genre," like Capcom Classics, Midway Arcade Treasures, or Atari Anthology.
  • I and II, Galaxians/Galaga, Dig-Dug, Rolling Thunder, and more...same classics you know and love, and truly a "museum" of Namco's best titles
  • Also packaged are some other great titles (although almost all of them are already in other museum titles)
  • So in summary, you get a decent sized collection of Namco's most well known arcade titles that are emulated well, quick to get into, and can provide hours and hours of fun
