Retro Namco Appreciation Thread


Recommended Posts

For those who want Namco Museum's sixth entry, the R, make sure you aren't trying to play the game on a PS2 as some games on there have issues with running extremely slowly. Volumes 1-5 run fine, but that 6th entry is a tripping point if you own a PS2 that can play Japanese games (either a Japanese model, or one modded to play imports). I have not bought the 6th entry myself, but I have heard far too many stories of the slowdown before I took the plunge on getting a copy.

It's not just with the sixth entry. Xevious in Namco Museum volume 2 also runs slowly on PS2. Oddly enough, the version with 3D/G+ has no issues on PS2.

Cutie Q - pretty fun game to play with a spinner

 

 

 

Bosconian - IMO, one of the most under-appreciated games of the classic arcade era

 

 

Libble Rabble - total mind-fuck controls but pretty addictive once you get the hang of it 

 

 

Metro Cross - kind of like modern endless runner phone games, with the primary difference being it doesn't suck

 

 

Sky Kid - fun side scrolling shooter with some neat gameplay mechanics to set it apart 

 

 

Assault - awesome futuristic tank game with dual-stick controls and some pretty sweet mode 7 effects
