In their place is a piss-poor soundtrack consisting of a handful of obscure 1980s tracks, with the only recognisable tune being Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runrfers, which incidentally, brought back painful memories of a party I went to in my teens when the girl I fancied got off with someone else.
No interviews with the creators, no facts and figures, no promo sheets or adverts from the time - nada.
However, the problem is that Namco are charging you 20 quid for a very lacklustre package that has a 'retro-cool interface' featuring the coin-op cabinets - and bugger-all else. Namco Museum is a collection of 14 retro arcade games including Galaxian, Galago, Dig-Dug and Pac-Man, and with the exception of one or two, all are genuine classics that you should play if you have any interest in our videogame history. You know, I never realised Namco's videogame heritage stretched back to the 1950s - the graphics back then must have been really shit.
