Namco has always been very good about bringing its classic arcade games to every platform imaginable. Now the Game Boy Advance is getting the classic treatment, and the quick-play nature of the arcade games on the cart lends itself very well to the portable environment.

While the front and back of the box show only four arcade games, Namco Museum actually contains five games. Galaxian and Galaga are shooters that took the Space Invaders concept and moved it forward. Ms. Pac-Man is the maze-and-ghost sequel to one of the most famous games of all time. Dig Dug pits your tunneling character against Fygar and Pooka. Pole Position is an early arcade racing game that translates pretty well to the GBA. All the games are designed to play like the original arcade games, complete with attract modes that roll while you aren't playing and options that are based on the arcade games' original dip-switch settings.
