Namco Museum 3: goodies or tease?

[Nostalgic]

If you wander through the museum portion of Namco Museum Vol 3 for the PS1, you come to some spots that tantalize you into thinking there's a way past them. For Pole Position II, there's a sign stating "staff only beyond this point", or something to that effect. There's something similar for Dig Dug, along with a display that's very high atop a mountain.

 

Are there ways to get past these obstacles or are they only there to tease the explorer into thinking there's something there?

 

(I already know of the little dance needed to get to the hidden Druaga machine. This is another reason why I think there's something more.)

It's not that there is a hidden game (that I know of, at any rate), it's just that there is a second Druaga machine in that section.

 

From some searching I've done, there is a hidden game in Volume 2, but there instructions were for how to play Bomb Bee starting from Cutie Q. Since Cutie Q isn't in the U.S. version, I would guess Bomb Bee isn't either.

Hmm. Are there other secrete aeras in these games?

Head over to http://www.psxtreme.com/ and search for the Namco Museum volume of your choice. The one for volume 2 tells how to get to the second Druaga machine.

It is a hidden game, the second Druaga machine plays slightly differently

for example, the Items are obtained differently and the title screen is another

colour.

 

I know what you mean about the barriers in the museum in the Dig Dug and

Pole Position 2 rooms though. If I knew an Xplorer/Action Replay code

for no clipping in the museum id have a run through and have a look, but

no sites seem to have one and im not very good at finding codes on my

own!

I didn't even know that there are hidden games inside the collection of the Namco Museums. I have all 5 of them (some of them were hard to get) but it has been a while since I have played with them. Now that I bought a PS1 save game card for me to finally beat Xenogears (a PS1 game that was a prequel to Xenosaga), I might decide to go backa and check out the hidden games.
