To me the only sad part is that I bought that Arcade Classics pack that was out for the old Xbox. Now it seems like I am buying the same things agian. Obviously the game hasn’t changed or improved any.

yeah that’s why i’ll always be on the fence with these retro releases. pacman will be no different..i’ll debate it for a long time…unless i get picked for the party in a box thing..then i’ll have free points to use

Galaga is certainly one of my favorite arcade games ever. Along with Defender, Space Invaders and Pac Man buying them is an easy decision for me.

I got Namco Museum Classics when I got my PSOne that has Galaga,
Pole Position, Ms. Pac Man, and another old school game. Since I don’t
have an XBOX or XBOX live I guess I’ll stick with the one I have.
Don’t see the difference though.
