as a small series of compilations for the playstation that lasted for five discs, namco museum offered several games on each disc, and for each one you could walk in a virtual museum and look at an interactive history of the games, such as promotional artwork, merchandise, and game tips taken from the arcade cabinets.

the museums also had their own wings for the games which you could go in as they have their own layout and you could walk into what looks like the original cabinets and play the games from there.



unfortunately though, volume 4 and 5 seem pretty rare, as they cost more these days than the first three

What were some of the games included in this series? Any volume in particular with a greater concentration of quality titles?

many focus on their arcade games that go from the entire 80s decade, such as pac-man, toypop, mappy, xevious, and the tower of druaga as some examples.

i'd say the first three have the most commonly known titles, but you can find a few gameplay videos on them on youtube

Cool. Thanks for that info.

Cool I love the Namco Museum series
The music in this game is outstanding!!!

After the Game & Watch Gallery thread, I looked up the series to see which ones had the games I actually played when they were current, or that would just be interesting to me, so I could decide which I might want. Here is similar info on Namco Museum. To me Vol1 and Vol3 seem like the best ones to have. Although Dragon Buster, which I'm not familiar with, is on Vol2 and looks pretty cool. But I don't want any of the others on that volume, except for maybe Gaplus.

On each volume there's more games that I don't want than ones I do. That's always my problem with these types of collections.

Judging just from the titles I have played/liked, I would say Volume 1 and 3 would be my top choices. However, there are several titles here that I haven't even heard of, let alone had a chance to play. Given that chance, these choices could change.

That's quite a variety.
