Namco Museum Arcade Pac
SCORE: 63
It pleases me that Family Friendly Gaming
purchased a physical copy of Namco Museum Arcade Pac on the Nintendo
Switch. This compilation contains Pac-Man Championship Edition 2,
Pac-man VS, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus, Pac-Man, Dig Dug,
Splatterhouse, Tower of Druaga, Tank Force, Rolling Thunder, Rolling
Thunder 2, Sky Kid, Galaga, and Galaga 88. This is an eclectic
combination of games. Some of them fit well together and there is one
that does not seem to fit.
Splatterhouse is the game that gives Namco Museum Arcade Pac its
thirteen and older only rating. I am not that big on this 2D side
scrolling hack and slash video game. The blood and gore could have been
left out in my opinion. Rolling Thunder 2 is where the majority of the
enticement to lust comes into play. Which is more artwork around the
screen than the game itself. Bandai Namco added it for some odd reason.
Did you catch the Family Friendly Gaming stream on
Twitch of this game?
If not make sure to check out our Twitch channel and follow us there.
That stream also had a couple of surprises in terms of who joined it and
what game we played after Namco Museum Arcade Pac. All of the games
included in Namco Museum Arcade Pac were played in that Twitch stream.
The controls in most of the games are good. There are a few controls
that are hard to use with the Switch Joy Con controllers. Pac-Man is a
great example. To be fair I remember having some of the same control
issues with Pac-Man back in the day. So maybe Namco Museum Arcade Pac
replicated those issues perfectly. The Rolling Thunder games can be a
bit touchy in the controls as well.
If you are a Nintendo Switch owner who has not previously played these
games, then you might want to check out Namco Museum Arcade Pac for ten
dollars brand new. That is what I value this retro compilation at.
Multiple family members can play Namco Museum Arcade Pac together. There
are a few stand outs like Sky Kid, and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2
Plus.
