They seem to be titles produced a few years after the originals to try to pump a few sucker quarters out of arcade players. There are also some new versions of a few of the games, called 'arrangements' which are fun but I like the originals better. Namco didn't do anything special to sharpen them up for the XBOX. The graphics and sounds are the same as the originals. They seem to be emulations of the actual original arcade games. Nothing in this collection measures up to todays games but they are not meant to. Pacman, Galaga, Galaxian, and Pole Position I & II) in the arcades. Overall: A nice flashback title for those who remember spending lots of quarters playing these games (Pac Man, Dig Dug, Ms. Suggestions: I would to have added a historical video section with some info about how these games got developed. Again nothing spectacular was advertised, only a faithful reproduction-which this is. Sound: Sounds are also the same as the arcade games.
The screens can be resized (normal, small and medium) to better suit the screen you are playing on. Since they tell you up front that it's a classic arcade reproduction, don't expect any 3d renders. Graphics: Visually the game is exactly like the original, so while the graphics are no where near current standards, they are accurate reproductions, as advertised. The only addition that I can see is support for the vibration function in the controller-and that can be turned off. Pac-man has that annoying joystick delay that the standups had. Gameplay: Gameplay is FAITHFULLY reproduced. I picked it up for nostalgia, but this is the game I find my girlfriend playing all the time. The ability to retain high scores is a great feature, it's like having your own standup arcade. Overall: This collection is a faithful reproduction of some of the classic arcade games of the 80's-early 90's.
