Sky Kid is a horizontal scrolling plane shooter, which can be more fun with a friend due to the simultaneous two player feature. The Rolling Thunders are run and gun side scrollers, with the second one adding a two player simultaneous option with much improved graphics and gameplay. Galaga has the player take control of a spaceship that shoots waves of aliens that look like bugs appearing at the top of the screen, with Galaga ’88 being the same concept but with more complexity and better graphics. To give a quick rundown of each arcade game, Dig Dug has the player controlling a guy who digs down into the earth eliminating monsters, either by pumping them with air until they explode or having giant rocks fall and crush them. People who grew up in the age of arcades need to only look at the list of included games to determine whether or not they want this, but that is not to say these games do not provide a certain level of enjoyment that for everyone, even if they’ve never seen an arcade cabinet in the flesh. With one exception, this collection is geared towards fans of the coin operated machine era, which is par for the course with this series. The games curated for Namco Museum are Dig Dug (1982), Galaga (1981), Galaga ’88 (1987), Puc Pac-Man (1980), Pac-Man Vs. Most of these games are included in previous Namco Museum collections, but the Switch brings some “new” titles to the museum: Rolling Thunder 2, Tank Force and Splatterhouse, bringing the ESRB rating to T and breaking the the long standing tradition of having a E rating or the equivalent for whatever rating systems were used at the time. The newest collection features ten games from the ’80s and early ’90s along with Pac-Man Vs, originally released for the GameCube, for a total of eleven games. Namco Museum collections have been keeping relics of gaming in circulation for over twenty years across multiple consoles.
