Play Namco Museum Encore Online

Summary

Namco Museum Encore feels like a hidden vault for anyone who loves digging through Japan‑only arcade gems. Unlike the first five volumes, which let you wander a 3D museum, Encore drops the fancy exhibit rooms and simply presents a clean menu – a subtle shift that lets the games themselves take center stage. The collection packs seven titles, from the vertical shooter Dragon Saber (1990) and the quirky beat‑'em‑up Wonder Momo (1987) to the maze‑runner Rompers and the bumper‑car chaos of Motos, each faithfully reproduced with the original arcade data but no source code, giving the feel of an object‑level recreation. Classic shooters like Sky Kid (1985) and the fixed‑shooter King & Balloon (1980) sit alongside the run‑and‑gun staple Rolling Thunder, offering a surprisingly diverse lineup for a single disc. A limited‑edition box was even designed to house all six Namco Museum volumes plus a memory card, and the whole set later resurfaced as PSOne Classics on the Japanese PlayStation Store in December 2013.
