Holy Versus, Puck Man

Mar 28 2008

If you didn’t know this, then let us tell you now that Namco Museum, recently released on the DS, has the very brilliant Pac-man Vs. Originally released as a freebie with R:Racing on the GameCube, the few people that bought it probably played it more than the driving game - although only after unlocking the shower scene - it was at the time in doubt if it was ever going to be released in the UK. I have seen this pack for the princely sum of £25 minus a penny and it contains some other games as well. What? You think I should? But who cares? Its worth the money by itself.

OK. OK. You also get Pac-Man (probably the original - no bad thing as it’s timeless and everything), The Tower Of Druaga (played it on MAME and I think its slow and not very good. In fact I always thought it was the name of another game, Dragon Buster, which is ace), Mappy (good platform bouncy game), Dig Dug II (if I have played this I don’t remember what the difference is between this and the first one. Speaking of the first one, whenever I played it on my mate’s 2600 I was always wanting to play Mr. Do on his Dragon 32 instead) plus shoot-em-up lovelies Galaga, Galaxians and Xevious (the latter being a particular fave of mine. And no, Nintendo, I wasn’t going to spend a tenner on it for my GBA, as much as I like it).

So there you have it; one rare as rockin’ horse-shit brill game with 7 freebies. Nice!
