The Namco Legendary Pack is a very important chapter in Atari's 50-year history, and this expansion treats it with the respect and care it deserves. It's another great addition to the collection's vast library of classics, and it sets a huge precedent for other companies to also bring their gems from that era to this near-perfect set.
If you’re a fan of retro gaming, or some of Namco’s most classic hits, this is a great celebratory chapter in an already excellent collection
As much as the lack of Tengen history or Pole Position sucks, The Namco Legendary Pack is still a fun batch of scorechaser ports with some fun programming history to go along with it, and one I definitely found myself enjoying more than The First Console War.
There wouldn’t be an Atari without the ports to some of Namco’s most popular arcade releases as Atari 50: The Namco Legendary Pack shows.
