Namco Museum 50th Anniversary - Retro Games Collection [PS2]

Описание к видео Namco Museum 50th Anniversary - Retro Games Collection [PS2]

Namco Museum 50th Anniversary is a collection of 16 classic Namco arcade games for the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC and a smaller 5 game variant released for the Game Boy Advance.

This collection includes some of Namco's best titles such as Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and the excellent Dragon Spirit. Digital Eclipse handled the development of this collection and it marks the first time they used actual emulation for the included titles and the actual arcade game ROMs are included on the disc.

There's not a lot of bonus material this time around but they make up for it by having a rather snazzy faux arcade for you to choose your games from.
My footage is from the Japanese version known as Namco Museum Arcade Hits! which is almost identical, besides the main menu music.

The USA and PAL releases contain 5 different 80s background songs that can be heard from the main Arcade game selection. I was surprised by this as they are pretty good tracks over all.

Full list of included Music: -


Come on Eilleen by Dexys Midnight Runners

Working for the Weekend by Loverboy

She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals

Talking in Your Sleep by The Romantics

Joystick by Dazz Band



The only other regional differences are two of the games need to be unlocked in the western versions while unlocked from the start in the Japanese version. The machines display as 'out of order' and have clear instructions on how to restore them.

To Unlock the Pac-Mania cabinet you need to score over 15,000 points on Pac-Man and 20,000 points on Ms. Pac-Man.

For Galaga '88 you need to score over 40,000 points on Galaga.


In terms of performance, Namco Museum 50th Anniversary runs at a stable frame rate and any input lag is unnoticeable by myself making this retro collection a really nice way to play these games.

The emulation used seems to be of a high quality overall and seemed to scale perfectly with no shimmering due to uneven pixels.


All footage was captured on real PS2 hardware by myself upscaling the image with a RetroTink 4K.
