Retro-Arcade. Blast to the past! Nov 30, 1999 Namco Museum 64 is a great game for retro-arcade lovers. Namco Museum 64 features 6 games: Pac-Man, Ms-Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Galaga, and Pole Position. These games all came out in the arcades in the 1980's. I remember pumping quarters into these games when they first came out in the arcades. All of the games are pretty straight forward. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man focuses on a yellow circle (with a mouth) that eats pellets. 4 different colored ghosts chase after you in a maze. Galaga and Galaxian are basically Space Invader clones. You are a ship shooting invaders down. Dig Dug is sort of a Mr. Do clone. Your a person in a garden destroying monsters with a pump. Finally, Pole Position is a F-1 racer. Your car does a qualifying race, then onto the main race.Overall, this a great game for me! For today's generation, the graphics may be a little lame, but for the retro lovers, this will be a blast.

Sweatin' to the Oldies. Nov 29, 1999 Fans of the old arcade games will love playing the original arcade versions at home, Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Pole Position, Dig Dug and more. Very fun and popular with people of all gaming skills.

Olga P. Buenaventura Nov 26, 1999 If you like arcade classics like Ms. Pacman, Galaga, Dig-dug, etc., this game is worth purchasing. Not only did it bring hours of good old simple arcade fun, but it also brought back feelings of nostalgia.

Not Exactly right, but pretty close Dec 27, 1999 This is not an exact replica of the games. A disapointment, when you consider that namco has the rights to the "roms." The galaga game has the sound effects messed up on the challenge stages, which doesn't affect playability. The real irritation, however, is the Dig Dug game. They programmed it in a way that it doesn't fit on the TV screen. That's right, it has one of those annoying scrolling screens. It's unplayable for someone like me that played the real arcade game. The pac-man games are perfect replicas, however, the original pac-man screen on my TV was very difficult to see. The weakness of the little nintendo joystick is painfully apparent here. The difficulty of a game should be it's premise, not poor controls. But this game is fun, if for no other reason than to use your nintendo and play the games on your TV.

Hey! Dec 28, 2000
By Eric P. Rodawig I got this game for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. I grew up on Pole Position and Pac-Man, so having the home version is awesome. Almost of the details are exactly the same, except for on Dig Dug, where the entire screen doesn't quite fit on your TV. But I haven't found that to be a problem, you can turn screen scroll on so it scrolls if you're missing something on the bottom row or above ground... You can also tinker with lives and stuff (and the screen scroll) with the "dipswitches", something you might miss if you don't read the instruction manual because you already know how to play the games (hit start on the individual game screens before you start playing the game). Finally, if you have a controller pack, you can save your high scores, which is great. Pole Position, Dig Dug, Pac Man, and Galaga are absolutely awesome; although Ms. Pac Man I feel is a tad redundant, it's still great to put on the game, and Galaxian's not bad... Hands down, this is one of the best games for N64, and it's really addicting; these games are classics for a reason. As for the control issues, I've found that the joystick isn't good for Pac Man and Dig Dug, but the D-pad (you can use it too) works great, so I really have no complaints whatsoever about this game, except for I miss Missile Command, which I suppose wasn't Namco... Buy the game, you'll be glad you did!
