Namco Museum: battle collection (psp)

[buster_broon]

got this today - shipped from Movietyme for ?23 and it arrived in 2 days, which was nice

anyway the original Japanese version had the following games:
Pac-man
Ms Pac man
Galaxian
Galaga
Rally X
New Rally X
Dig Dug
Pac man arrangement
Galaga arrangement
New rally X arrangement
Dig Dug arrangement

The US version has all of those plus the following:
Xevious
Bosconian
Rolling Thunder
Mappy
Tower of Druaga
Dragon Buster
Grobda
Motos
Dig Dug 2
King & Ballon

this collection is very very good and rolling thunder alone makes this a worth purchase. If you've never played or seen this before, its old classics plus 4 games which have been given the REmake treatment

out of the arrangement section Galaga and Pac-man really stand out

definately worth picking up

Any reason why it is called BATTLE COLLECTION?

Any reason why it is called BATTLE COLLECTION?

it doesnt really mention anything in the manual but on the back it states
taking full advantage of the PSP's wireless connectivity challenge or team up with 3 of your friends on some of gamings greatest franchises

it also have a share option as well - all you need is 1 umd game and you can send the games to a pals PSP

Rolling thunder was a nice addition, i didnt actually know it was on there until it arrived and its pretty much perfect

now that Namco Museum 50th Anniversary has been sent from vg+ i will be playing Rolling Thunder on my Gamecube in no time

Got this Saturday and am impressed with overall quality of the conversions and number of games, Galaxian & Galaga are great, it's not been mentioned already, but all games can be played in a square window in centre of screen or full screen which isn't as distorted as it sounds, and Galaga can be played in proper TATE mode

Well worth picking up for all retro fans.

I think almost everything works in TATE mode David - Xevious & Pacman certainly do although it can make them look a bit "off"
