How to Decide
Namco Museum DS is known for bundling eight classic Namco arcade titles on a portable DS handheld for retro arcade fans. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Atari: 80 Classic Games in One! leans on a massive 80‑title library with adjustable speed and color options; Dig Dug emphasizes a same‑screen two‑player competitive mode for arcade enthusiasts; Dig Dug Deeper is chosen for its full 3D remake that supports modern PC resolutions and widescreen displays.
When weighing these options, focus on (1) the platform you’ll be playing on – handheld DS versus Windows PC; (2) the depth of multiplayer support – from Namco’s wireless DS multiplayer to Atari’s local PC play and Dig Dug’s split‑screen competition versus Dig Dug Deeper’s single‑player only; (3) the breadth of content – a handful of titles in Namco Museum DS versus 80 games in Atari’s collection; (4) graphical modernization – authentic 2D emulation in Namco and Atari versus Dig Dug Deeper’s 3D graphics; and (5) price point differences, since each one‑time purchase ranges from $19.99 to $29.99.
