As well as Galaxians' aliens-with-attitude and Pac-Man's fruit-gobbling, maze-wandering antics, gorge yourself on the following nostalgia-fest: Galaga, a close relative of Galaxians, slightly less appealing - like a less fanciable twin Ms Pac-Man - does what Pac-Man does, but with a feminine slant Dig Dug - take up thy pump and thy shovel, start burrowing, blow things up Pole Position - get behind the wheel of a really fast car, beat the timer, avoid other cars and obstacles, try not to explode Pole Position 2 - same idea, more tracks to choose from Rolling Thunder is a horizontal scrolling shooter Rally X is a driving game in which you collect flags, emit smokescreens and try to avoid other drivers Bosconian asks you to pilot a space ship, survive enemy fighters and destroy enemy space stations, while avoiding asteroids and other obstacles in Dragon Spirit, you control a powerful flying dragon, harness spells, drop bombs and breath fire at enemies Sky Kid finds you controlling a bi-plane, avoiding enemy planes using evasive loops, dropping bombs, and gunning down other planes Xevious features a heavily armed fighter plane with which you can destroy enemies and targets in the air and on the ground and finally there's Mappy, the police mouse who's charged with the collection of goodies from the cat house - not as sordid as it sounds. Erk! The future, if that's what it really was, was disappointing, but at least the video games were fun, weren't they? Aren't they? Anyway, the good news is that Galaxians and Pac-Man both feature in Namco Museum 50th Anniversary, and more good news comes in the shape of a dozen more games in this generous compilation which celebrates 50 years of Namco. Due to some temporal mash-up, the next thing we were aware of was waking up with a receding hairline, fading eyesight, and a scratched copy of Ultravox's Vienna LP. Of course, the future in 1980 didn't last long. The future had arrived in our little town. The consistently entertaining 'really cocky Space Invaders' thrill of Galaxians and enduring yellow fellow Pac-Man. Blimey! But then, it's hardly surprising when you consider what those cabinets contained in 1980. The Pong and Breakout 'sit-downs' had come and gone and been replaced with a new configuration - the arcade cabinet! Two of the blighters! Who'd have thought that, more than 25 years later, Namco would still be trading on former glories? Not only that, but the company's been around in one guise or another for 50 years. Up at the Youth Club (is there still such a thing in 2006?) the half-sized snooker table had been abandoned, along with the table tennis, the bar football and the record player(!).

But that's another story for another time, but indulge us, if you will, for a moment.

On the plus side you get to hear five ‘classic’ 80s songs while browsing through the games and it wont cost you a fortune.Ah, 1980…we remember it well, and not just for gaming reasons.

And you could always download MAME for free instead. Just take into consideration that there are virtually no extras (like interviews, photos, videos etc), very few options, very slight but usually annoying sound problems and the overall presentation isn’t as sleek as it should have been.

When (and if) you buy Namco Museum you will also be able to play Digout and Bosconian. Skykid, which is pointless, annoying and obscure, but I guess perfectly emulating the horror of being a skykid (?). Rolling Thunder, a decent platformer/shooter with nice graphics. Mappy, the strange little unknown game that is fun for five minutes, but tends to get nervous, act stranger and gradually reduces the poor player to a horrified excuse of a person. Galaxian, which has always been a poor man’s Space Invaders.

If using on an operating system above Windows XP, DO NOT OPEN THE GAME WITHOUT APPLYING THE CRACK FIRST. Crack is included in a folder inside of the iso.

Since was the only site that had a reliable upload of the game, I uploaded it here as well.

Pole Position and the radically samey Pole Position II, both aged beyond recognition (they used to be quite nice guys back then) but excellently emulated. The PC version of Namco Museum 50th Anniversary. The other games included are:ĭragon Spirit, which I had never played before, and is a passable top down shooter with an appropriately ridiculous backstory and cute graphics. PacMan or the original Galaga, which are actually three of the best titles available in this compilation, and are decently emulated.

There are 16 games on offer, two of which ( PacMania and Galaga `88) are unlockable by attaining (pretty low) highscores in PacMan, Ms. Namco’s Museum is an almost decent (budget) collection of some classic, some not so classic and a few pointless games, hoping to please retro gamers, to teach new gamers some old tricks, to teach young dogs strange tricks or to please the average casual gamer.
