Video Games : Ms Pacman: Namco 2 - Plug n Play TV Games .
Rating: 
- Absolutely Fantastic!!!!!
There's not much to say about this little box other than it's brilliant from the stylish retro design of the system to every gaming aspect. The games feature arcade perfect gameplay (occasionally with the high score moved to the side to fit your TV screen better).
I am hooked on Ms. Pac-Man which has always been my favourite Pac-Man game and hours seem to pass when I'm alone with her! (Don't tell my girlfriend!!!) I'm sure no one needs a further explanation of this one.
Pole Position is incredibly playable thanks to an ingenious control system whereby you twist the joystick in the direction you want to go rather than pushing it. It feels sort of like an arcade steering wheel. This only takes a few seconds to get used to and you're racing around the track F1-style!!
Having not heard of Mappy before, I found it surprisingly addictive. It did, however, have me dreaming of trampolines and giant cats chasing me! This game is stereotypical of the bizarrely themed games of the late 70s/early 80s that captivated so many people.
I was never a big fan of Xevious as I've always prefered space style shoot-em-ups to the military ones. For me this game is very difficult and a bit of a nightmare, but Xevious fans will be pleased to hear that it's arcade perfect.
Last, and definitely not least is Galaga. Not many people will need much explanation, but for those who do it's a Space Invaders-style shoot-em-up with loads of varied moving enemies, and is highly addictive. This too is an arcade-perfect conversion.
In conclusion if you only intend to buy one TV-Game, make sure this is it. The conversions are perfect, the joystick's look and feel is fantastic, and the choice of games are really very good. This is much more superior to it's prequel (Namco Pac-Man), and infinitely superior to Atari's 2600 effort (- why have poor conversions when you can have the arcade originals?).

- Very easy to use, good fun for a while.
This item is really easy to use although i'd suggest getting a scart adapter for the AV cables for ease of pluggin the game in to the tv. It has five games and i do like the fact that you twist the joystick around to control the car steering. Id say its value for money.

- Excellent - but no high score save :-(
All the games are all great fun & really adictive - the controller is excellent & it's all dead easy to use. The twisting operation for Pole Position is particularly good.
My only reservation is that you can't save your high scores - part of the fun of these games in the arcades was trying to beat the all time high scores...
