This game never made it over to the NES, but it’s included as a bonus port here! I’m sure fans of the arcade version and collectors will be interested to see this on the collection. You might want to mute this one.īack in 1984 the sequel to Galaga was released in the arcades and it was called Gaplus. There are some semi-cool power-up systems in place, including acquiring another ship that attaches to the main one and getting upgraded bombs, but the game is rather plain looking and the music…oh the music.
The concept is great, but the gameplay is lacking and quite honestly I was bored after five minutes. You fly around in an aircraft and must shoot down enemies flying around the screen as well as drop bombs on the ground below you to take out targets. That being said, if you loved this one in the arcades or on the NES then no doubt you’ll put some time into this one.Īnother shooter and probably one of the first overhead auto-scrollers of its type is Xevious, but you’re getting the enhanced Super Xevious in this collection.
Perhaps it was my first exposure to a sort of “me-too” rip-off of another game and that always rubbed me the wrong way. While I can appreciate this for what it is, even as a youngster the game never really resonated with me. It’s sort of an evolution of Space Invaders with different enemies flying around the screen in different patterns before taking their spot at the top of the screen where you can blast them away. I know quite a few people enjoy this arcade shmup. The one that sort of put Namco on the map back in the early ‘80s is Galaga, and the NES port is included here. This package seems to put an odd focus on shooting games. That’s not to say there aren’t some fun choices included here, because there definitely are. Of course this is all subjective depending on what types of games you enjoy and if you have any sort of nostalgia for the titles included, but for the most part I can safely say that the first one is by far and above the better choice for me, and probably for anyone I’d recommend games to. Sort of like sequels that don’t live up to the originals, this compilation pack falls a bit short in terms of fun games when compared to the first volume.
#SUPER XEVIOUS NES STRATEGY PLUS#
Namco Museum Archives Volume 2 contains another ten classic NES games plus a bonus one that’s been 8-bit sized to look as if it had been on the console all this time.
