Editorial Review:
SIX GAMES IN ONE...GALAXIAN, MS. PAC-MAN, POLE POSITION 2, DIG DUG, PHOZON, AND THE TOWER OF DRUAGA. The main attraction on this volume has to be Dig-Dug. For you youngins out there, the game features a little guy with an air pump (Dig-Dug) who digs underground tunnels searching for Pooka and Fygar, two crazy-looking monsters who eat Dig-Dugs like they're going out of style. The object is simple - find all the Pookas and Fygars and pump them full of air until they explode. The game is completely addictive and may be enough reason by itself to pick up the package. Ms. Pac-Man was the insanely popular sequel to Pac-Man, and it added several different mazes to the game, as well as adding a female character in the hope of dragging women of the 80s into arcades. It worked, and Ms. Pac-Man was nearly as big a hit as the original, which only added to the rolling keg of fury that the entire Pac-Man series encompassed.








I remember playing Dig Dug on an old computer in my Support home work class back in Junior High in NYC, and today its still a collectors and a classic.
A must buy Gem to keep forever for those who love these games and want to play them on the PSX. The playstation controller is great with PAC-MAN games as well as other games from all the namco Museum collection.
Thanks for reading




"Ms. Pac Man" is just as fun to play as the original "Pac Man" but is just slightly more difficult and gives a more continues the "story" begun in "Pac Man".
"Dig Dug" is one of the classic arcade games of the 80s. The game seems easy enough to play (dig your way through dirt, kill monsters before they kill you, and collect vegetables). However, the game becomes increasingly difficult as you progress and before you know it your running away more than you are shooting at monsters because there's just too many of them.
"Galaxion" is another arcade classic. It takes the premise of "Space Invaders" one step further so that instead of defending a planetary base from destruction and invasion, you're in space trying to destroy an enemy fleet before they blow you up. In "Space Invaders" you could hide your gun behind turrets, but there is no place to hide in "Galaxion."
The other three games on the collection are fairly forgettable and were somewhat obscure in the day. "Phozon" is a type of puzzle game where you try to match up the phozons with the pattern without getting blown to bits. "Pole Position II" is a racing game where you blow up if you get too far off course or run into items. In that sense its realistic. However, the game is extremely difficult to play because the analog component of the paddle isn't compatible and you don't have a joystick so you're forced to drive your car using the directional buttons. What a pain. "Tower of Druaga" is the final game on the collection. It involves trying to get Gil to climb through all the levels of the Tower. It's kind of like an early video game version of role playing. It's kind of interesting, but it takes an incredibly long amount of time to defeat.
Overall, this is a great collection for anyone who grew up playing video games in the 80s. For those who are too young to remember Atari, the game is nice to play because of its retro and anything retro is cool.

Oldies are Excellent
Since I don't want to upgrade like my kids I still have my PlayStation 1 and I came across this and when I seen alot of the old Atari games on it I had to get it. If you like the old school games then this is a must to add to your collection. I highly Recommend it. 2008-07-27




Without MRS PAC-MAN and DIG DUG, this collection would suck!
This is a great "Nastalgia" gamer who knows how it all began when PAC-MAN was first played on the COMMODORE 64, and AMIGA computers. Now today its even hotter then ever. New generations as well as old are at it again going Pac-wild with The whole Pac-Family games. I will never get tired of Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man, and they are still hard and challenging as hell!

You Know You Grew Up In the 1980s If . . .
This collection of games from Namco is a blast from the past for anyone who grew up playing video games at home on Atari or who spent their entire life savings at the arcades. The games included on this collection are: "Ms. Pac Man", "Dig Dug", "Galaxion", "Phozon", "Pole Position II", and "Tower Of Druaga". For those who don't own a PS2, NAMCO MUSEUM VOL. 3 is worth owning because of "Ms. Pac Man", "Dig Dug", and "Galaxion".
