This Namco Museum is mostly a port of the N64 version, with six more games added. There’s still no fun extra features, history or anything like that, but some of the new games make it into a far more entertaining package.
Pac-Man

It’s still Pac-Pan, and it works well.
Pac-Man Arrangement

One of the highlights of the collection. This is a fantastic version of Pac-Man, with the visual style changing every few levels and new mechanics added like boost pads and teleports. It’s an immense amount of fun.
Galaga

The classic shoot-em-up game.
Galaga Arrangement

Like the Pac-Man arrangement game, this changes things up a lot more than the original, with some nice backgrounds and really fun gameplay.
Dig Dug

It’s Dig Dug again, still fun.
Dig Dug Arrangement

Dig Dug with more enemy type and much nicer graphics. Each level is a tile on a map, with the level theme matching. Lots of fun.
Pole Position

I still can’t turn well in this.
Pole Position II

It’s more Pole Position.
Ms. Pac-Man

Sadly no arrangement version for Ms. Pac-Man, and it was already included in Pac-Man World 2.
Galaxian

Still as dull as ever.
Pac-Attack

A Pac-Man puzzle game, another one that was in Pac-Man World 2.
Pac-Mania

Again, it was included in Pac-Man World 2, a fun game if you treat it differently to the original Pac-Man
—
It’s still a bare-bones release due to the lack of extras, especially when you take into account that 4 of the 12 games were included in Pac-Man World 2 as a bonus. However, the arrangement versions of Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug really elevate the collection, especially as they’ve not been included in later collections. These three games are the stars of the show.

Fun
Remake or remaster?
A collection of all the Arrangement titles from the Namco Classic Collection 1 and 2 (which were both arcade machines) would be great. This would also include Arrangement versions of Mappy, Rally-X and Xevious.
