I mean, these are the games everything was based and founded on. The excitement generated when the idea of Nanco Museum: 5oth Anniversary was introduced was unbelievable. The past anniversary compilation titles from Namco have been excellent, so much a lot expected from this 50th Edition. So far the largest Namco Museum only featured 12 titles, but the Anniversary edition has 14 (with two hidden), making it the largest one yet. A Namco Museum has also been released for GameCube, Xbox, and even PlayStation 2. This is not the first re-release of classic games that this company has made, in fact, they released a collection of arcade games for PlayStation (that some of these titles appeared in also) covering nearly five discs that turned into one of the most sought after discs for that console. Pac-Mania and Galaga '88 are also included but must be unlocked by getting extremely high scores on other games. The question that looms ahead, will the die-hard gamers with their simulation and intelligence and high-quality fighting games of today even like or appreciate the classics from earlier times? Namco sure hopes so.Ĭlassics that are included are: Dig Dug, Pole Position & Pole Position II, Rally X, Rolling Thunder, Bosconian, Dragon Spirit, Xevious, Mappy, Galaga, Sky Kid, Pac-Man, and Ms. Sure, some of today's gamers have heard of these games, mostly from their parents or older siblings, but the chances they have ever played any of them aren't very high. This special Anniversary edition reintroduces 14 of the classic arcade style games of the 1970-80's to today's generation of gamers.

Namco is going into their 50th year of business and as a tribute, to both themselves and their millions of loyal customers, they produced the Namco Museum 50th Anniversary. The disc aims to provide spot-on emulations of the following blockbuster hits and forgotten favorites: Galaxian (1979), Pac-Man (1980), Rally-X (1980), Ms. In its most prolific arcade game compilation yet, Namco revives 14 coin-op classics for play on home consoles.

Namco has been in the video game business since 1974, when it acquired the Japanese division of the original Atari. This '50th Anniversary' addition to the Museum series celebrates the longevity of Namco, which was founded in 1955 as an operator of 'rocking horse' amusement rides.
