The games have an arcade debug feature to add more credits or change the difficulty settings. Players can save their high scores and game progress to the separately sold Virtual Memory Unit.

if you are an old school gamer like myself this is a must have. I'm 24 and remember playing these games on my atari and in arcades. To start off they send not only pac-man but ms. pac-man our way. None of the graphics have been updated or changed and that is what makes this title great. I sit for hours on end trying to beat my high scores. I can't stop. I'm addicted. This collection also contains Pole Position, Galaga, and my personal favorite Dig-Dug. The one dud on this collection is Galaxian a far inferior game to Galaga.

All I'm saying is, that if you want a great port of classic games this is the best one I have seen. The collection of games is terrific and you are sure to "gobble" up some of your free time with this on. Enjoy!

I had recently bought an intellivision for 5 bucks at a garage sale. It made me remeber my childhood of playing NES 24/7. 2 days later(yesterday) I bought namco museum. It is a perfect arcade port,altogh it is almost identical to namco museum 64. I never expected to stay up all night playing Galaga, but I dd. This game is definitly a retro gamers' dream. I give all the games 5 stars except for Galaxian. That game is terrible(-5 stars).All in all, it is much better than Midways greatest hits!

Anyone who remembers the original series of Namco Museum compilations that first came out for the PS1 years ago remembers one of the best parts was the Museum feature itself in full 3-D where you ran around as Pac-Man selecting what game you wanted to play. All the DC version has is a select menu. Thats it. You'd figure with the space left over on the disc itself that Namco would port over a few other retro games, but no. Not to mention the emulator used to port the games was very poor, and the sound is god awful (much like with the compilation Sega Smash Pack also for the DC) and your only option will be to mute the volume. All in all, if you loved playing these old games and still have a DC this is worth a look, but others should run in the opposite direction.
