New and old gamers will be pleased to know that a collection of 7 classic Namco games are coming to the PSP. Games include Pac-Man, Ms.Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig-Dug, Rally-X, and New Rally-X. Four of the games, Pac-Man, Galaga, New Rally-X, and Dig-Dug, will make use of the PSP hardware to allow for multi-player gaming and more.
Per IGN this game will also have the ability to download a sampling to someone that hasn't purchased the UMD so they can play the games.
Not for multiplayer use...And the games are not recorded to the memory card....Just into volitale RAM
i agree that $10 pricing is right (though i bet the UMD costs $4), though i have some concern about how they are going to orient pac-man. It was for a widescreen format but the screen stood up tall instead of wide like the PSP
How can you not love Pac-Man. The only popular culture figure inspired by a Pizza with one slice missing. Personally I will not buy it unless I win a large cash prize of some sort but hey...
** FAIR WARNING: The American release (just out today, 08/24/05) REQUIRES you to UPDATE system software to v1.52! ** If you're trying to preserve your 1.50, don't buy this. As for me, that's a real bummer, because I really want to run this (and let's face it, by the time GTA comes out, who isn't going to upgrade to 2.0, etc, if they 'force you' to do so). Besides, I just got done reviewing/downloading the Web browser manual, and it looks pretty good. And, I do have MAME running on my v1.50, but that's really a pain in the #@$#: you spend hours trying to load games which may or may not run (all I got to run was Galaxian and PacMan). As far as "reviewing" this game... is that really necessary? --If you like classic games, this gives you 20 of 'em (plus the 4 're-envisioned' games). Maybe I'll throw an actual review up after I do the dirty deed and upgrade to 2.0. **** ONE MORE NOTICE: the "game-sharing" option should be called "lame-sharing": according to the manual, you can send the 1st level of 10 of the classic games to a friend's PSP, but even that is gone once their PSP is powered down. I really thought this was going to be 'true sharing' (ie: able to use the wiFi head-to-head with only 1 game --- now that's what the PSP needs to really get everyone excited: you have to buy games for 1 player action, but could link up with as many people as you can find with only 1 copy).
Yeah. Just get a NES and GET those games. PLUS they are in 3D. NOT REALLY CLASSICS ANYMORE!. Sorry im just a diehard PACMAN fan but im not getting this one.
