Pac-Land memorable, but the rest is not , July 18, 2001
Reviewer: Bruce Gray "gurpsgm" (Shenandoah Valley, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This is the fourth in the series of Namco recreations of Arcade classics. It includes: Assault, Pac-Land, Ordyne, The Return of Ishtar, and The Genji and The Heike Clans. Assault is one of the better ones - it puts you at the controls of a 3-D tank fighting other tanks. Pac-Land is a memorable side-scrolling world that most Pac-Man fans will remember, but the rest of the world forgot. The rest of this collection consists of (at best) second rate arcade conversions that have no business being called "Classics". Only worth
 Fourth time is a charm? , January 17, 2002
Reviewer: Keith K Smith (Charlotte, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
I see a lot to talk about for this one. Pac-Land is based on the old TV cartoon; this side-scroller gives Pac-Man a body and you guide him through "Fairy Land" avoiding ghosts [some in hovercrafts, airplanes, and pogo sticks!] and collecting fruits, in various landscapes (ex.--town, peaks & valleys, desert, poolside, brick house, forest, waterspout). Try to find the blue cap (usually at the start of each Trip), the secret "invisibility" cactus/hydrant (usually at the 3rd of each Trip), the 7650 point bonus balloon (in the 4th stage of each Trip) and the Galaxian bird, also worth 7650 points (appears at random). And of course the energizers to turn the tables on those ghosts; depending on how many are on the screen, each blue ghost is worth from 200 to 7650 points in succession! Just about the only thing missing is Chomp-Chomp and Sourpuss; they appeared at the end of each Trip in the arcade game.
The Genji and the Heike clans is based on an actual historical figure, and though it may scare some players off, is quite interesting. I think Assault qualifies as the first tank game set on a multi-layered planet in outer space...there are three different versions of Assault on this disc (if you look hard enough!). In Ordyne, you control Dr. Tomari, an inventor whose atomic converter and girlfriend were stolen, and you go after the culprit in an airplane (with a second player, Felix, at the same time if you wish) while fighting some weird-looking creatures. I didn't care much for the Return of Ishtar. If you go to the Theatre room in the Museum, you can hear PicPac, the robot band, play an instrumental song or two (with background "video" graphics!)...the same songs (with or without Japanese lyrics) can be played from the Music selector inside the Theatre room. Like the other discs, this one features history, pictures of game-based items, and classic NG magazine covers. There's also a built-in ranking system on each game if you use your memory card. Highly recommended
for those who remember arcade life at its first peak. Enjoy thoroughly.

Man that Pac-Land game is fun at parties you get a bunch of stupid college kids together and those magic boots that make pac-man fly acroos the screen are the coolest things on the face of this earth this game wasn't all that great other then pac-land which wasn't all that great but it is worth while to have. |
