Summary: Happy to see old favorites back again!
Review: I received my game yesterday, and I rushed home to try it out. I was amazed to find myself still playing at 3:00am. I was not disappointed. This game brought me back in time to when I fed quarters in the machine hour after hour. The graphics and sounds are exact, and Pinky, Blinky, Inky and Clyde are awesome. I did find that purchasing a joystick enhanced my playing fun. The only thing missing is the warning label that this game is still highly addictive.

Summary: Return Of Arcade: Don't Expect Too Much
Review: I was a little disappointed with Return Of Arcade. Although it did feature some great Atari hits, it wasn't all that great. Graphics were very poor, although I guess I should have realized that. Sound- Awful. Yuck. I just wondered why they would charge so much for this game! It did feature some great options, though... I stilll would not reccomend it.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was disappointed this product came on diskettes, rather than CDROM. Only one game is mouse driven. The PacMan game requires you to use the arrow keys, and they do not respond quickly enough. The old 80's joy sticks were better. Over priced for what you get.

Summary: A Very Pleasant Surprise
Review: I'm somewhat taken aback by the negative reviews that this product has received. I've only played one of the games so far, "Pac-Man," and was delighted! This is no "half-baked" simulation of the original. It mimics the original perfectly, right down to the "safe" spot for Pac-Man in the lower right quadrant. Graphics and sound are first-rate, identical to the arcade version in every way. Difficulty, speed, # of lives, etc. can all be customized from the main menu. Another reviewer complained that the keyboard had to be used. My copy permits you to configure a joystick, which is the only way to play a game like this. If your main concern is state-of-the-art graphics and surround sound, forget this title. If you have a soft spot for arcade classics, and wish to play superbly replicated versions, purchase "Return to the Arcade" without hesitation!

Summary: Very Highly Recommended
Review: If you want an exact replica of the 80's arcade games, this is it. Reviewed on its own terms (that is, does it do what it's supposed to do and how well does it do it) this game is perfect. As a 30 year old I played these games as a kid at the roller-rink and the play is flawless. I have a sidewinder controller and it works perfectly. If you liked these games, get this software.

Summary: ...They are not new games, but fun games
Review: Microsoft did a pretty good job on providing us with the 4 Namco arcade classics for the computer. Each game is exactly like the original, but you can use different controlling devices such as a mouse for Pole Positions, and the much better keyboard for Pac-man. Also you can change the settings to make the game a little bit easier or harder. The problem is these games wont run in 16 bit color or higher, but all you have to do is just change it to 256 colors.
