Was disappointed that game had only 3 retro games I really liked; Pac-man, Ms. Pac-man and Galaxian.
Namco could have put more interesting games on the Collection

This was the first game I bought for my PSP. Living in Japan, I got hold of one of the first PSPs, but I took months to buy a game for it. They were all so…uninteresting looking. Puzzle games, RPGs–part of it was I knew I wouldn’t be able to read the text, because I know few kanji. Finally I bought this one just to have SOMETHING to play.
And it was fun. Nice little trip down memory lane with the original version of the games (and they are JUST like the original versions), and the new versions were well-executed. For what it was meant to be, I give it 4 stars.
But only 3 stars for fun, because really, the fun didn’t last at all. Those old games really don’t compare to the new stuff out there, and updated versions of them with fancy graphics and a couple extras tossed in just aren’t all that much more fun. Yes, it was fun, for a couple of weeks. After that, I was looking around for something new, but the new games have been coming slowly.
Don’t get me wrong–I think the PSP is great. And I just bought a used copy of Ridge Racers (finally!), which is mildly enjoyable–it’s just to tide me over until Grand Theft Auto comes out. But what I really use my PSP for 95% of the time is watching movies that I’ve converted with PSP Video 9, and listening to music. It’s excellent for that. But when GTA shows up, the whole PSP game world is going to undergo a paradigm shift.

Im 41 and have great memories of playing arcade games in actual arcades during my youth. This PSP package includes several of those games — and my memories are much rosier than the actual games. I dont know if it is the PSP platform (and the terrible joystick “nub”) or the games themselves but I got about 30 minutes of distraction from this game before putting it aside forever. Worst ROI from a game yet. If you are looking for a PSP game, spend your money on Patapon2 or PuzzleQuest.

This is a great collection of all those old original arcade games you used to play and love. Bought it for my husband while he was deployed, but I like it too!
