I hate to do this because these games are classics, but this game is definitely NOT worth the money. A friedn of mine bought this exact game for the PS1 and he got sick of it fast (I played it for 30 minutes once and I couldn't stand playing anymore) Don't get me wrong, these games were cool when they first came out, but at this point in time, they have been as overplayed as Britney Spears's "Hit Me Baby One More Time." You can download similar versions of these games online for free! If I were a collector and had to have all things namco, I'd buy this, but since I'm not, I'm not going to. Again, if you really like these classic games and don't get sick of playing them frequently, feel free to buy this game. I turst Namco can bame better new stuff!

Galaga, Pole Position, and Dig Dug are all great choices, but why not regular Pac-man instead of Ms. PAc-Man. But these games are still awesome even if there are only four of them.

Near Perfect Classics

First of all - I hate it when people write reveiws of software that they have NEVER played - I mean this game isn't even out yet!!! Anyway, I HAVE played this (It was at E3), and it rocks! While similar to the PSX version, the programmers have made some changes to improve the games for the GBA platform. And yes, they are old games, but they are classic games, and they are STILL good - Galaga is a particular favorite. The people who slag off the old games are usually the people who don't have the skill to play them!

Also, Namco had another GBA game on show - PacMan Collection, which included Original PacMan, PacMan Arrangment, PacAttack (a tetris like game), and PacMania (an isometric scrolling PacMan game) - that looks really cool, I can't wait!

Oh, this game is so fun! It never gets old! All the games are great! If you have played Star Fox, MS PAC-MAN Maze 64, or F-zero, then you will love these games

Is That Galaga in Your Pocket...?

It's like having my own portable Aladdin's Castle! If you don't know what that is you're too young to truly enjoy this collection. This is a great game(s)! Ms. Pac-man, Dig-Dug, and most importantly GALAGA! If you used to shovel quarters into these games as a kid, you won't be disappointed with this cart. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there really should have been more games on the cart. C'mon, you expect me to believe that the simple pixels that make up these games take up all that memory? I suspect this will not be the only "Museum" cart that Namco puts out...but I'll probably buy those as well. I was also surprised at how addictive these games still are. My wife tapped me on the shoulder last night and said, "Do you realize that you've been playing 'Galaga' for 2 hours straight?". Can't get enough of the classics!

Spectacular

Some people have told me "These are all OLD games!" That's true. That's probably also what makes it good. Three of the best arcade games of all time (Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug) come together with two other Classics, Pole Position and Galaxian. I got this for Dig Dug to keep me sane until my other games came in, and now I don't want to put it down. Highly reccomend.

A nifty collection of classics for GBA

I'm a 33 year-old arcade fanatic and happily recall my days in the arcades, even if I didn't play for long or play all the games. The classics never go out of style (hence the term "Classics") and Namco Museum is no exception. Sound is crisp and clear, with near authentic sound effects and gameplay just like the arcade versions. I'm a nitpicker though, so here are (just a few) gripes: In Pole Position, the "qualify" voice message is different and a few of the signs are not the same as the original. Galaxian and Galaga are finally together; I finally get to see the difference between the two! The only gripe with this is you need to play in sunlight or a light adapter, or you can't tell the diff between passing stars and a missile. These are just minor gripes and I'm sure Pole Position's changes are just customized alterations to get used to. So, whether you're home or on the go, play GBA Namco Museum, housing nicely restored classics on that surprisingly small cartridge!

Almost but not quite

Its fun to be able to play favorite classics and its even better when you can take it with you. Never mind that Namco could have easily placed more games on to one cartridge or even selected a different set of games to bring to the Game Boy Advance. For the most part, the game screens are too small to appreciate. Galaga is almost too dark even under good light. Dig Dug is entertaining but again the screen is just too small to get the most out of it. Ms. Pacman is the only game on the cartridge that allows for the choice of screen formats - fit to screen or scrolling. I highly recommend selecting scrolling since that makes it easier on the eye's and the added challenge of not knowing exactly where "Blinky" is going to pop up. Don't get me wrong, being able to carry around arcade classics in your back pocket is great, however, due to the small game screens and often too dark display, I found it more frustrating and neck breaking than I can appreciate.

These games take me back to my days in the arcade. I rember spending many quarters playing these games. All of these games are great on GBA. The detail in Ms Pac-Man using scrolling mode is wonderful.
