Namco Museum Volume 5 – O

Here’s 5 Arcade Hits that put the joy in Joystick.

Set your time machine. Namco Museum Volume 5 whisks you back to an era when big collars were cool, big hair was hip and big fun was only a quarter away.

• Metro-cross: Beat the clock in this furious foot-race. Obstacles abound. Smash aluminum cans to get bonus time. (Recycle bins not included)
• Baraduke: Do you have the courage to battle a boss that looks like a fat globule with a billion beady eyes? Then pack some heat and let’s rumble.
• Dragon Spirit: The smash-hit shooter of its day. Screen-scrolls left/right and up/down. Blast air and ground targets. Upgrade weapons. Feel studly.
• Pac-Mania: Catch Pac-man in a pre-cursor to a true 3-D game. Looks retro-cool. Plenty of goofy ghosts and guffaws for all.
• The Legend of Valkyrie: You can’t beat a 2-player game that features Viking women. Embark in quests, cast spells, wield weapons, and wear stylish Nordic attire.
