Title:
Namco Museum Volume 3 – PS1/PS2 – Greatest Hits – Namco
Rating: E (animated comic mischief)

Introduction:
Relive the arcade gaming experience of days gone by at home on your Playstation console. Games included: Galaxian, Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position II, Dig-Dug, Phozon, and The Tower of Druaga.

Plot:
The Tower of Druaga – Maze action game with a bird’s eye view perspective. Help Prince Gilgamesh rescue Ki from Druaga. Fight monsters and slimes using the items you find along the way.
Phozon – You are a black molecule with four red spikes. Collect floating molecules onto yourself in an ever increasingly complex pattern. Quite possibly the great-grandfather to today’s Katamari Damacy.
Dig-Dug – Dig tunnels through the dirt to avoid your enemies. When faced with an enemy, inflate them with air until the pop. Once all the enemies on the screen have been destroyed you level up.
Pole Position II – Formula 1 racing game with four track selections. Avoid assorted obstacles on different courses. Going off of the track results in a fiery play-end crash.
Ms. Pac-Man – Move through the maze and eat all the dots while avoiding the four ghosts. Eat the power pellets to turn the ghosts blue and eat them. Bonus points are awarded for eating the miscellaneous fruit that appears on the board. Level up once all the dots have been eaten.
Galaxian – first ever color video game. Shoot aliens out of the sky and protect your ship. The aliens increase speed as you progress through the game.

Gameplay:
The earlier arcade titles are fairly straightforward in game play, which has not changed since these games first came out in the early 1980’s. Originally designed for the arcade style controller, the controls translate easily into the Playstation controller. Using the analog stick helps recreate the arcade experience when playing Ms. Pac-Man and Pole Position 2.

Pros:
You can set the difficult level for each game, allocate the number of lives per player and game, making it easier for younger gamers to stay in the game longer without throwing the controller at the wall in frustration! This collection of games features all of the original graphics and sounds of the arcade originals.

Conclusion:
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, or introduce young children to the world of gaming without having to be concerned about appropriate content, Namco Museum vol 3 is an excellent choice. Perfect for grade-schoolers and grown-ups alike.
