Description

The second, and arguably hardest-to-find, title in the Namco Museum series for the PS1, this volume packs in arcade favorites like Mappy, Xevious and Super Pac-Man, along with lesser-known sequels Gaplus (a lightning-fast Galaga sequel, better known to U.S. gamers as Galaga 3) and Grobda (a ground-based follow-up to Xevious) and the quest-style Dragon Buster. The menu, option selection and control structure is very much the same as Namco Museum Volume 1, making it a bit difficult to navigate (something later refined in Namco Museum Volume 3). Though the first and third Namco Museum PlayStation titles were reprinted as part of the "greatest hits" collection, Namco Museum Volume 2 somehow escaped that kind of sales success, and is now sought after by collectors. The original arcade version of Xevious is also included on Xevious 3-D/G+, but most of these other games haven't been seen in more recent Namco Museums for other consoles.
