Namco has been releasing its classic arcade lineup on modern game consoles for years. The company started its retro kick by releasing a five-volume series on the PlayStation, starting in 1996. Since then, various incarnations of these collections have shown up on the Dreamcast, the N64, and the Game Boy Advance. Now, Namco is bringing the Xbox and GameCube into the act. While Namco Museum is fine for people who are looking for arcade classics, players who own most of these games in another format needn't bother adding this to their collection.

Nitpicky fans will likely complain that the picture quality of a television set is far lower than that of most arcade monitors.

From the classic arcade era, Namco Museum contains Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug, Pole Position, and Pole Position II. The game also features arranged versions of Galaga, Dig-Dug, and Pac-Man--these games were released in arcades in the mid-'90s when Namco released combo cabinets containing these updates along with the original versions. While the arrangement versions of these games are neat--Galaga Arrangement being the best of the three--you'll probably agree that the classic versions are still the better games.

Namco Museum is fine for people who are looking for arcade classics.
