Namco’s Museum Vol. 3
Volum 3 Arcade Classic with Ms Pacman Phozon, Galaxy and moreFrom the makers of Soul Calibur comes a tour of the ancient days of gaming. For those who remember Ms. Pac-Man and Atari, for those who loved Dig-Dug, and those of you who spent way too many quarters on Galaxian, this little treasure is for you. While it does contain some forgettable titles such as Phozon, a deadly boring puzzle game, and the Tower of Druaga, a sad, sad attempt at a top-down role-playing game, Namco Museum Vol. 3 is worth its price for the addictive classics alone. Pole Position II is also included, and, unlike modern racing games where you can knock opposing racers out of the way with a quick side swipe, Pole Position II‘s car explodes at the slightest contact. This was too much of a habit to break, but the nostalgia alone can be worth the effort. Although this is a fun trip into video game history, younger gamers could be bored due to the low-tech nature of the package. But parents of the new video game generation should feel free to plug this into their child’s PlayStation and say aloud, “When I was your age…” –Allen Stewart Pros:
