Review: Namco Museum

Review by BADHARE | 07/11/2001 | 12:06:49 PM PST

Namco places an entire arcade from the 1980s into your pocket with Namco Museum for the GBA.

Never mind a deserted island?Namco Museum is the GBA cartridge you'd most want when you're stuck in an airport. The timeless gameplay of Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, and Pole Position shines through on the small screen with robust colors and surprisingly clear sounds. Being able to play Ms. Pac-Man with either a full-screen maze or a scrolling playfield is a nice perk, and making Dig Dug a scrolling-only game was a wise choice.

The cross-key pad handles the controls with ease, except in Pole Position, which is unplayable. Why not replace it with something that works within the GBA?s limitations? Oh well?four out of five ain?t bad. Portable and pure, Namco Museum is an old-school must-own.
