There's a reason why I prefaced "Arrangement" with "arcade" because the PlayStation Portable versions are not based on the arcade versions at all. However, a quick Google search will reveal that games like Dig Dug Arrangement had appeared on other compilations, specifically the PlayStation Portable. Dig Dug Arrangement and Galaga Arrangement are still in limbo but at least players can experience these titles through an obscure version of Namco Museum. This was a fairly recent title, so the fight to bring the rest of the Arrangement arcade titles to future compilations lives on. Outside of this version of Namco Museum, it would take over two decades for the original arcade Pac-Man Arrangement to release on a console platform via Pac-Man Museum+.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug, none of the original arcade Arrangement titles were ever released outside of the arcade for consumers. The six titles included Xevious, Mappy, Galaga, Dig Dug, Pac-Man, and Rally-X. Both volumes featured three Namco arcade titles and three "Arrangement" versions, which were modern versions of the titles to give them a fresh coat of paint for the nineties. The three "Arrangement" titles, Galaga Arrangement, Pac-Man Arrangement, and Dig Dug Arrangement were from a pair of arcade exclusive titles known as the Namco Classic Collection released in 19. The other three games that were included are the focus of this retrospection, as all but one have yet to see another proper release in any capacity be it a compilation or a single entry. Two of the six titles, Pac-Mania and Pac Attack, were hidden, requiring the player to earn a high score in certain games in order to unlock them.

Namco Museum PS2 menu Namco Museum Xbox menu Namco Museum Gamecube menu Each Namco Museum version had a unique yet similar theme for each console This version would be ported to the Gamecube and Xbox a year later. While the line-up was the same as its predecessors, this version included six more titles, increasing the number of games from six to twelve. In late 2001, the PlayStation version of Namco Museum was released, but it was vastly different from the Dreamcast, N64, and Game Boy Advance versions. A year later, the Sega Dreamcast port was released, featuring the same line-up of the Nintendo 64 version, rounding out the original Namco Museum trilogy. While this would be something we wouldn't see in a Namco Museum title again, the simple menu designs made finding a favorite game far easier than before. Part of the appeal of the first five volumes was the bright and colorful designs as the menus were a "first-person" tour of a virtual museum. All Mass Media Namco Museum titles forgone the first five volume's museum aesthetic in favor of a simple main menu design. Pac-Man which in my opinion is the superior Pac-Man game but that's another retrospection for another time. Imagine having a Namco Museum with no Pac? It did have Ms. What's amusing about this list is that the game would also release on the Game Boy Advance as a launch title for the North American release yet Pac-Man wouldn't be included. Developed by Mass Media, Namco Museum 64 featured six titles.Ī complete Namco Museum PSX set. The Sony PlayStation was able to hold more memory in its CDs than the Nintendo 64 cartridges and as such, rather than porting all six volumes and 30+ games, Namco downsized. A year after Encore, a Nintendo 64 version titled Namco Museum 64 was released. While this was the definitive edition for most of Namco's arcade classics, its exclusivity on the Sony PlayStation meant that there were other platforms for Namco to invest in. Over the span of six volumes, 38 titles were featured, including Pac-Man, Rally-X, Baraduke, Mappy, and Xevious among others. The final game in the series, Namco Museum Encore, finalized the word with a registered trademark symbol, thus completing "Namco®."

The series debuted on the Sony PlayStation, from 1995 to 1998, released in five volumes representing the letters N - A - M - C - O. The Namco Museum series is an ongoing anthology series of various Namco arcade classics released in a single package. Namco Museum on the PlayStation 2 was one of several versions of titles with the same name released from 1999 to 2002. Going through some of my old things, I've come across a relic which if you've read the title and seen the featured image, you can take a wager at what I've found.
