Namco Classic Collection Vol.1

Step back into arcade history with Namco Classic Collection Vol.1, a compilation released in 1995 featuring three beloved titles and their updated arrangements. Players can experience the iconic space shooter Galaga, where you pilot a starfighter to destroy waves of insectoid enemies; Xevious, a top-down shooter requiring precision bombing runs against structures and flying machines; and Mappy, a quirky maze game starring a mischievous cat who must recover stolen treasure. Each game offers both its original form and an “arrangement” version, providing fresh musical scores and adjusted gameplay. Beyond the core experiences, keen players can uncover hidden messages within Xevious by executing specific actions at the start of the game, revealing acknowledgements to the development team. The arrangement versions also introduce additional challenges like Time Attack mode in Galaga and Extra Areas for Xevious, demanding skillful play and strategic navigation. This two-player arcade cabinet delivers a concentrated dose of classic Namco action, blending familiar gameplay with updated presentations on its dedicated Namco System ND-1 hardware.
