As I love the old school games, I find them hard to play on the DS. My daughter who I actually purchased the game for, just refuses to play them. She is 10 and said it is just not that much fun and finds is hard to use the buttons for this particular game. Oh well, win some and lose some. I'm not sorry I bought it... just will play once and a while.
If you're over 35 this game will pleasantly refresh your memories. I enjoyed PacMan and Galaga back then and I get to enjoy them now. I wish this game had Dig Dug 1 not Dig Dug 2, but overall this is a fun DS game to own. The sound and graphics quality of video games over the last 10 years are phenominal and they continue to improve! If you're young you may think the Namco Museum Games are somewhat plain compared to all the latest video games. You'll be right, but you'll be missing the point of Namco Museum. Video games from 1979 thru 1985 were new. Pac Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Asteroids, Missile Command, Lunar Lander, and a few others were the best in their day. Namco Museum captures some of that old time nostalgia and if you enjoyed playing some of those old games back then, you'll be glad to own Namco Museum now. Have fun!
I love this game. I got it for my son who likes pac man and i have taken it over and i am constantly taking his DS and playing Gallega which is also on it. I used to play Gallega when i was a kid in the old arcades. The graphics are really good and you can adjust how many spaceships you get until you get better. My son and i play all the time. it's a lot of fun and a great price for a DS game.
My kids love it. It is so much fun to play compared to the other ds games they sell that are in my opinion to violent.
It's a hard game but it's fun. You should have it if you are a DS game lover.
I am a 50 something woman,not much of a gamer, but got a DS for Christmas, and have become addicted to these games, especially Pacman and Galaxian. Playing them was exactly like back in the good ole days...and even my 10 year old niece enjoyed them, but of course she didn't have to read the instructions like I did.the graphics are good, if you liked it back in the 80's, you'll enjoy this game.
I purchased this game for my grandson because when his father was young he loved Pac Man. I knew they would love to play this together.
Love it. I was a little rusty but recovered quickly. Can still beat my brothers!
This game has 7 classics, all from 1979 to 1985, Including Galaxian(4/5), Pac Man(5/5), Galaga(5/5), Xevious(4/5), Mappy(4/5), The Tower of Druaga(2/5), and Dig Dug II(5/5). I like it how if you press START, SELECT, START while holding R, you can have a 2 player game on a single DS. And then there's a wireless/download game: Pac Man Vs.
How to operate Pac Man Vs.: Select Pac Man Vs.; In the middle of the touch screen you'll se a circle that says Wireless Vs. Touch it or select it with the A button. Then you'll see Create Room, Find Room, etc. I got stuck on the circle part and thought it was searching for opponnets. And I thought it was lousy because it wasn't working. So make sure you select Wireless Vs.
Anyhow, Pac Man Vs. is fun, and for the first time ever, you can be a ghost trying to catch Pac Man!
I would recommend this game to anybody, especially old games fans.
I got this game for my "son" little did he know i was buying it for myself. I absolutely adore galaga. It is the only game that i have played on it. My son plays all of them but he likes galaga and is trying to take down mommy's high score!!
Awesome, it belongs to my kid, but I used to play more than he does. It's incredible, its fantastic.
Each of my two grandsons have a Nitendo DS game device. I purchased this game for them. It is a little difficult for the 5 year old but the 10 year old loves it.
I've only played this game a couple of times since I have received it but so far I like it. It brings me back to the days of playing PacMan on the arcade. It did feel weird using the buttons rather than the stylus but I got used to it. It is a great game to get as far as going back to the days of older games. It is well worth the money to buy it.
This game offers all the retro gaming fun from the best arcade games while offering the ability to synch your DS and play against a buddy. My kids have had a blast with it, and so have I.
this game had some of the old classics from yesteryear. now i can play it on my ds. the graphics are great. worth the price. amazon has made good again. thanks amazon!
