Featured Game: Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX) Anonymous 12/20/2024 (Fri) 21:37:38 Id: dd2a10 No. 1052811
>What is this? Games are chosen (relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't necessarily to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! or you can forget about it. It's up to you. THIS GAME: Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX) >Where do I get this? Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX): https://romhustler.org/rom/psx/namco-museum-vol1-u-slus-00215 MAME set including Arcade games in Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX): https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/ Ports of Arcade games in Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX): Pac-Man (NES): https://files.catbox.moe/sp4ndz.nes Pac-Man (SNES): https://files.catbox.moe/vh30uq.sfc Galaga (NES): https://files.catbox.moe/oilynj.nes >How does it play? Namco Museum Vol. 1 (PSX) was the first volume in the Namco Museum collection. The player walks into a virtual museum, the games are surrounded by its mainboards, marketing material and concept art. The games that are featured are: - Pac-Man; - Rally-X; - New Rally-X; - Galaga; - Toy Pop; - Pole Position; - Bosconian. >Next Game For the next game, the theme will be Shoot 'em ups! Poll: https://poal.me/6p7abo The next games will be all about Shoot 'em up titles. The entries must be in the Shoot 'em up category. GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE FEATURED GAMES: If you do not like any of the games in the poll, you can either add a new entry manually, or reply to the OP. If you DO suggest a game though, please, report all relevant information on the game (magnet/dl link, interesting mods, guides, tutorials on tech, speedrun etc.). Feel free to suggest any and every game you can think of, bonus points if it's games that barely anyone has played or talks about in the [Current Year] or that fit the time of the year thematically. However, try and follow these rules: 1) No game that relies on modern hardware. If the game cannot be pirated or emulated properly, or no working emulator for the game exists, most people won't be able to enjoy it, rendering the thread kind of pointless; 2) No always-online games, meaning no live service games or mobile games that are dependent on external servers, unless a backup instance of said servers has been created by its fans or the offline content is significantly larger than the online content; 3) For multiplayer games, provide only free to play games that let players create their own servers, or games with local multiplayer that can be set up to play online (requires someone to be a hostfag, or, and may Allah forgive me for uttering these words, using Parsec); 4) No game that requires gimmicky controls to be enjoyable (guitar pedals, Wiimotes, cameras etc.) unless they can be easily remapped or translated into some other control scheme.

>>1052842 Never played Toy Pop, but Bosconian is fun as fuck. It's like this Top Down shooter that lets you scroll in all directions, and you gotta kill these command stations or carriers or whatever while ships are hounding you. https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=rQEfiUkKA3Y

>>1052811 >Toy Pop Acha a cute
Honestly, not a great selection of games. It has Pac-Man and Galaga so that's why 90% of people would ever pick this up. Bosconian is good but fell into obscurity. But a lot of the other games? Rally-X and its sequel are extremely primitive even by 80s standards, there's no reason for them to be here over something like Xevious or Dig Dug, especially when Pole Position is apart of this collection. After brief digging, this appears to have been the strategy for the Namco Museum series. The original five volumes on PlayStation contain one or two big hitters per volume with a lot of filler, actually including fewer games as they go on.
>>1052914 >After brief digging, this appears to have been the strategy for the original five volumes What games are included in the other volumes of the Namco Museum series?
>>1052921 Going over the hits; Vol. 2 has Xevious, Vol 3. has Dig-Dug and Galaxian, Vol 4. has Pac-Land and Assault, and Vol. 5 has.. Pac-Mania. The volumes get worse as they go on. A issue is how obviously Japan-centered the volumes are. For example, Vol. 2 includes Mappy. You've probably never heard of it, it's honestly kind of mediocre, but was absolutely massive in Japan and gained features in games like Smash Bros. Many of the titles are Japanese-only, Vol. 2 also included Cutie Q; a 1979 digital pinball game that's a sequel to Gee Bee, which was internationally released. Beyond it being a JP-exclusive, the game isn't well remembered even in Japan. It's a strange pick, and the Namco Museum PSX volumes are full of these: Phozon, Toy Pop, Ordyne, The Tower of Druaga, games you've likely never heard of and in many games aren't particularly good. The collections feel like cheap cash grabs from a company that was struggling financially.
>>1052932 Can't say for Toy Pop, Phozon, or Ordyne, but played Tower of Druaga, it's good by '84 standards. Hard though, isn't for everyone.
>>1052914 >Honestly, not a great selection of games It is easy to think that but it is just Namco only games and two of the all time best arcade games included, Pac Man and Galaga. Arcade games like this were only manufactured for less than a decade and they made a series of these museam games leaving the only other classics, Xevious Dig Dug and Ms Pacman for later editions. Xevious and Galaga were very intriguing games when they were released. Audio sounds were very unique and the art and use of color seemed very above the other machines.
>>1052811 Zoom here Full disclosure, I did not make the thread, but I don't mind other anons continuing it themselves if they feel like it.
>>1052921 >What games are included in the other volumes of the Namco Museum series? Wikipedia's "Games Included:" Volume 1: Pac-Man, Rally-X, New Rally-X, Glaga, Bosconian, Pole Position, Toy Pop Volume 2: Cutie Q, Xevious, Mappy, Gaplus, Grobda, Dragon Buster, Bomb Bee Volume 3: Galaxian, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Phozon, Pole Position II, The Tower of Druaga Volume 4: Pac-Land, The Return of Ishtar, Genpei Toma Den, Ordyne, Assault, Assault P lus Volume 5: Metro-Cross, Baraduke, Dragon Spirit, Pac-Mania, Valkyrie no Densetsu

Does the PSX game emulate arcades or were games ported to PSX? If the cherry pattern for maximum points for the original arcade version solves the first maze it's emulated.
>>1053015 No worries Zoom, it's all good. Just doing this as a one time thing. I'll ask you to make the thread in the future.
>>1052811 (checked) That cover is extremely familiar. I may have owned this at one point.
>>1052945 >Xevious Wasn't there an Xevious-only collection on the PlayStation?
>>1053026 Internet says the arcade games in Namco Museum use a JAMMA emulator running the game's original source code, making them near-perfect arcade ports.
>>1052932 Hold off on the Tower of Druaga slander, that shit is the Dark Souls of arcade adventure dungeon crawlers
>>1053928 >using [X is the dark souls of Y] unironically Anon, please.
>>1053928 >that shit is the Dark Souls of You are a gay nigger. Never share an opinion again.
>>1053928 >>1053946 >>1053950 >Anon, please. >You are a gay nigger. Never share an opinion again. t. Druaga slanderer
>>1053954 Druaga kinda sucks dude, it's one of those intentionally obtuse 80s games you basically need a walkthrough to play

>>1054073 Sucks if you do.
>>1053928 >arcade adventure dungeon crawlers This is a more questionable title you have given its genre than your funny maymay dark souls reference.
>>1054079 Meme is funny and true! >>1053928 gave the title, I just copied it. Druaga's more like Dark Souls: a Soulslike. The Dark Souls of arcade Soulslikes before Dark Souls ever darkly souled. Soulful game.
>>1054089 Shitposting aside I'm curious if you've ever actually played it
(3.24 KB 224x288 The Tower of Druaga.png)

>>1054091 I played Druaga after Baten Kaitos introduced Druaga to me. Had fun, Druaga's like Pac-Zelda.
>>1054095 It's definitely a game from 1984. Very historically important and influential, but not something I'd recommend. My big issue is all the hidden items and item requirements. You can tell it was an arcade game because it's purely a strategy to waste the player's time, it's unlikely for anybody to beat the game entirely on their own without putting significant time into it. Some people don't mind that old school cryptic bullshit, but for me it's complete poison and my biggest filter to adventure and fantasy games of era.

>>1054073 Funny history with Druaga by the way, Pantry Chef Wordsalad. >Upon release in Japan, The Tower of Druaga was an overwhelming critical and commercial success, attracting millions of fans with its use of puzzle-solving and action-oriented gameplay. >Poor reception outside Japan Huge difference in reception internationally and in Japan. I don't know what mysterious factor's responsible! You convince others less and embarrass yourself more, Not-Gud, but lesser minds' trash can be greater minds' treasure so I won't keep punching down on a cynical shitposter on Christmas. I gift you uncontested copes and salad, and myself, better games than yours. :^)
>>1052811 Arcades were the epicenter of social life for teens and and young adults once. MAME's not the same but no shame in the games when gameplay's still rad as it ever was.

>>1054139 Christmas has me feeling generous, here's your (you).
>>1054154 I definitely miss arcades. All the ones I had nearby closed up for good after the CCP flu fucked everything up.

>>1052811 Bosconian is really best played on the upgraded X68000 port.
>>1052811 Reminds me of Namco High.
>>1052811 Those unknown.spam pages 404 for me. Is it doing that for anyone else? Are those just pastebin links that got edited?
>>1055217 >Is it doing that for anyone else? It's a wordfilter of admins.

>>1053026 I'd rather find strategies in unexplored ports than take strategies from solved games. I captured all ghosts for each pellet on board 1 on the SNES.
>>1054154 > Density of gameplay Classic arcade games were meant to be a brief distraction for a few minutes while you waited for the restaurant to finish your order. They had to have a solid density of gameplay since you were only playing them for 2-15 minutes. Games you play at home can take the time to tell a story since you are sitting in front of them for hours.
