Graphically, this collection is pretty ugly. Some games sound slightly off pitch, and things like explosions occasionally sound a bit off, too. However, we tried multiple PlayStation-style dual analog gamepads and were unable to properly assign Pole Position's driving controls to an analog stick. Because most of these games only really involve a directional pad or other joystick equivalent, along with a button or two, that's not much of a surprise.
For the most part, each of the games controls identically to their arcade counterparts. You can unlock Galaga '88 and Pac-Mania by achieving some easily attainable scores on some of the other games. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Pole Position, Pole Position II, Rally-X, Rolling Thunder, Sky Kid, and Xevious. The collection contains 14 games by default: Bosconian, Dig Dug, Dragon Spirit, Galaga, Galaxian, Mappy, Ms. Namco's arcade classics deserve better than this. The games are playable, but due to some weird screen-filtering options and unfortunate control options, this isn't quite the birthday celebration you'd expect. After years of putting out its old games on the PlayStation and just about every other console and handheld out there, Namco's Museum series is now on the PC as well, with 16 of Namco's arcade games. While the PC is the hottest of the hotbeds for the quasi-legal practice of emulating and playing old video games, it always seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to legal compilations of classic games.
