Classic Game Room reviews NAMCO MUSEUM 50th ANNIVERSARY for Nintendo GameCube from Namco which includes Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Bosconian, Dragon Spirit, Mappy, Pole Position 1 and 2, Rolling Thunder, Xevious and more!! CGR review of Namco Museum 50th Anniversary review has Namco Museum 50th Anniversary YoUTube review gameplay recorded from Nintendo GameCube.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary was also released for the Game Boy Advance. In the GBA version of this game, the '80's soundtrack is missing and the 11 games (Galaxian, Pole Position 1, Pole Position 2, Rolling Thunder, Bosconian, Dragon Spirit, Sky Kid, Xevious, Mappy, Pac-Mania and Galaga '88) are missing.

[@ViewbobTrue]

I wish you would use the old intro again. I remember it made me want to develop a videogame called "everything" so you guys could review it and have the spoken lines in the intro be really confusing!

[@AM562]

Viewbob I agree

[@awelcruiz]

There is a game called "Everything" on PS4.

[@TruExtentChannel]

I always wanted to make a crappy 90's 3D style animated opening to go along with that intro. "Banished from Earth" you see a rocket launching out of Earth's atmosphere "Classic Game Room broadcasts" you see the CGR logo on the ship as it passes in front of the camera "from the intergalactic space arcade" the camera zooms out to show the rocket headed for a neon space station "on it's neverending mission to review EVERYTHING!" and transition to the review!

HOW DID U NOT MENTION THE AMAZING SOUNDTRACK, THE MENU PLAYS 80’s HITS

[@kennyjones8926]

Have this for PS2..My favorite videogame of ANY SYSTEM..Brings backs awesome memories

[@ztoxtube]

This really is the ONE. I have it on PS2 and as a lover of 80s arcade machines I put my personal seal on it. 100% awesome!

[@ProWrestlingFan1995]

Just ordered this, been needing it for my PS2 collection for awhile especially since I own the 1st Namco Museum on the PS2.

[@ninjamaster3453]

Namco museum?Gotta get this. They'll never make another.

[@atranfanatic]

Yep it's fun I have it on my PS2.

[@cicirunner]

I agree, Bosconian is not always included in this compilation games but it is really good.

[@Patrick19833]

I had no idea that Namco were that old. There were no video games that long ago. What were they making that long ago? It's obviously not video games.

[@evan2902]

I guess they got Elmer Fudd to do the voices for Bosconian

[@starlightrevenant]

It was also released in Japan (on the PS2 though) as Namco Museum Arcade Hits!, because NamCollection was the 50th anniversary compilation of Namco games in Japan.

[@SpiketheDragonFanatic]

I freakin' love Bosconian, Mappy, and Rolling Thunder! ^^

[@AndrewAmbrose]

All Access Gaming I love all those games plus sky kid.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I have the PS2 version and it has much of the same games as included. There was only one game that he never covered was "Namco Museum DS" for the Nintendo DS, and it does have "Pac-Man" along with "Mappy", "Dig Dug", "Dig Dug 2", "Xevious", "Galaxian", "Galaga" and a few others are good games. And speaking of "Pac-Man", there was a Midway version of the same game that used the same gameplay as this one, and it was in the arcades back in the 1980's, and it was in the US by Midway. Namco originally put out in Japan before Midway published it. The reason for this collection that the title screens for Namco games had the "Namco" name on title screens for "Pac-Man", "Ms. Pac-Man", "Galaxian", and "Galaga", not the Midway versions. You can find the Midway versions in one of the arcade places, and these were hard to find.

[@orsonzedd]

Are you kidding? Pacmania is the definitive Pacman experience

[@doctorx0079]

Yeah, I don't understand the hate for Pac-Mania. Some people just need to see all the ghosts at all times I guess.

[@RetroCabeza]

There's a severe lack of Rolling Thunder in my life right now.

[@shawnrainer7495]

I started watching CLR last spring and was hooked. I love the reviews, the humor, and the insight to so many games that I missed back in the 80's. Definitely looking into purchasing some CLR merch and books. Rock on!

[@rayphoenix7296]

I wish Toy Pop was on this collection. Toy Pop is one of my favorites and I only have it on the first Namco Museum on the Ps1.

[@JackTheGamer3]

Toy pop is everything bro! They are so retarded for not even putting this on namco museum on switch

I'm surprised Mark didn't make mention of the licensed 80s soundtrack that plays on the menu; you'd think that would be something he brought up immediately. ...then again, copyright's a thing...

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Bosconian is my favorite arcade game.

[@plasticarmymenstopmotions4960]

I have this game on my ps2. I remember when I was little I would love to play rolling thunder all the time. Ahh memories.

[@Arcadehollywood]

Hey Classic Game Room! This looks excellent! Going to have to see how this compares to the real games

[@Bloodreign1]

These are fake games? No, they are as real as you can get as all of these games are arcade emulations, which means real arcade code was compiled for this release. It's so emulated that Rolling Thunder does not have the final boss theme, just like the arcade game (oddly enough the PS1 port on Namco Museum Anthology, the versions on Famicom and NES, and the one on Switch has the theme in place when you face the last boss).

[@chocolocojames213]

Love your voice man...it cracks me up every time.

[@jupreindeer]

Definitely missed out on this one, over the years. And, for sure, it's super cheap. Just added one to my library. Thanks, Mark.

[@Arcadehollywood]

Good stuff!! Yea great collection!! Yep!! I own a dedicated Bally Midway Bosconian Upright...it's one of my favorite games.

[@colinsushiboy745]

Looks lame! Was willing to pay 2.00 for it lol. Seen some place selling it for 12.00. But most are higher. Didn't think I'd get it for 2.00

[@yashuatimmins3271]

Question is this game now backwards compatible cause I own the game and I dont know how many more years my xbox original has left

[@ProWrestlingFan1995]

No

[@CEO100able]

I used to have this game for the PlayStation 2 (the Greatest Hits edition), but not anymore as I didn't really care for a few of its arcade games that looked too boring and odd, which were "Dragon Spirit," "Xevious," "Bosconian," etc. I still have the Namco Museum game released in 2001 for the same platform, which seems better as I can play all of its great games from there, including "Pac-Man Arrangement," "Galaga Arrangement," "Dig Dug Arrangement," and more.

[@Bloodreign1]

Dragon Spirit, Xevious, and Bosconian too odd and boring? Hoo boy are you ass backwards on that statement, these 3 are some of the 80's best arcade games.

[@JetteroHeller83]

With the exception of rolling thunder and sky kid all those games are available on the PS Vita via Namco museum volumes 1-5 available on the PlayStation store.

[@Deep_wolf]

So, NAMCO is 70 yrs old now? Grandpa Namcos.

[@Colonel-Llama]

Deep_wolf I’d say it’s around 65 years old now

[@KingLich451]

time flies by....

[@RareDivers]

Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for the Xbox 360 is the most comprehensive release so far, as it includes everything from this 50th Anniversary collection, plus Sky Kid Deluxe, which had not been released in a collection up to that time. It also includes the three Arrangement versions of Dig Dug, Galaga, and Pac-Man, which were previously available on the PSP.

[@martinbay7006]

YES! Bosconian rocks! It's AWESOME!

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

I just got this a few months back for like $2 from a thrift store. Hell of a package

[@Croostus]

I had this on PS2 and it was amazing

[@JackTheGamer3]

I have this on my xbox ps2 and gamecube

[@xxdante69xx58]

Sadly the *Gameboy Advance* version of this game doesn't include Bosconian, Xevious and others games, but, it has Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga and Rally-X

[@eiadtarabulsi]

I'm still waiting for the release of "Pac-Man Classic Super Ultimate Hyper Ultra Realistic Championship Deluxe Special HD Definitive Remastered Edition".

[@keithsalinas85]

Awesome to the max!

[@Wolfhoundersful]

Worth it for Ms Pac-Man, Rolling Thunder, Dig Dug and Galaxain alone

Just a headsup; considering you are a fan of Blame manga. They just released deluxe editions of "battle angel alita". In same maner they released blame.

I own this game. It's an incredible value. I just wish it didn't have the song Come on Eileen in it.

[@cloudstrife1983]

Is it me or does the Namco track in Pole Position look like High Speed Ring?

love your reviews Mark, I hope you'll bring back your friends derek and that other guy :D forgot his name...

[@Bloodreign1]

Namco Museum 5 on PS1 has it, but good luck paying out the nose for it. I had to go the Japanese version route to get it for a fair price.

[@joeydeclue1294]

I miss you whack !

[@HogwartsProfessor1]

So Namco Museum came out in the 1950s?

[@oasisbeyond]

67 = 50... But, I guess this didn't come out in 2017 :) So yeah probably 50's. Doubt it had games back then.

[@bitterheat3415]

No. The 50th anniversary refers to the age of the company Namco, not the age of Namco Museum. Namco was founded in 1955. But I can see why you got confused.

[@HogwartsProfessor1]

Fl4m1nG What the hell was Namco doing in 1955?

[@Mar-O899]

I guess they started out with rides. And also if ya didn't know, Nintendo was formed in 1889 lol.

[@doctorx0079]

In The Beginning Nintendo made playing cards. Then on the second day they decided to try toys.

[@SteveBrandon]

Why do the Namco Museum collections never seem to include Phelios? I have the Sega Genesis version, but, while it's pretty nice by Genesis standards, it's not even close to arcade-perfect. Is Phelios a game I gotta MAME to be able to play "properly"? Same deal with Burning Force, though I never got the Genesis version of that one.

[@doctorx0079]

Unfortunately there are tons of Namco games Namco Museum collections never seem to include. The same goes for Taito.

[@SteveBrandon]

If we're talking Taito, I'd love to get Top Landing, a game that's hard to emulate due to having special chipsets that only a couple of early 3D Taito arcade games shared (possibly only Top Landing and Air Inferno). Then again, I could just continue praying that Taito could one day bring over the Jet de Go! series of games, even just for PS4 online.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@doctorx0079 Taito put out 100 of their arcade games on PS2 years back in Japan with the 4 volumes of Taito Memories (25 games each pack) I'd say they re-released more of their back catalog than any other game company has done in their retro compilations.

[@stringanime]

but it doesn't have SPLATTERHOUSE....Fail. SHOTS FIRED!!!!!!!

[@spartonberry]

Pac-Man 2 is a real game, though. Not a handheld and not at all like any other Pac-Man game, it was a point and click adventure game for the Genesis and SNES, with the original Pac-Man and another version-exclusive unlockable game inside.

[@neosalad]

CHEAP...?! Is that sarcasm...? I've never seen a copy "in the wild" but cex sell it (pre owned) anywhere from £22-£45 for the PS2/XBOX/GameCube (gamecube being the most expensive of course!!) Would love it, but not prepared to pay that.... Still have namco museum for the 360 though so will make-do with that..

Why is it that Every time I see a Mappy review, the person reviewing is ALWAYS PLAYING IT WRONG!!??? Get the loot in the correct order, dag nabbit!

[@KoalaTContent]

I think it's because you are the only person who understands Mappy. Many people like Mappy, but none of us know what's going on

[@DDRUTOU]

@@KoalaTContent grab the loot in pairs. When you get one of the items, the other one blinks. Grab that one next. Knock over the cats when you open or close the doors with them in it. Grab the loot that the big cat hides in when you're close for extra points. It's not really hard to understand. Just hard to pull off flawlessly
