Atari 50: The Namco Legendary Pack
Critic Reviews for Atari 50: The Namco Legendary Pack
Atari 50: THE NAMCO LEGENDARY PACK is one of the best retro expansions out there with its historical value and selection of console ports. 🕹️
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.
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.

I won’t go so far as to call The Namco Legendary Pack a must-purchase. The history captured here isn’t unique enough for that, especially when you consider only a handful of playable games have been added to the overall package. Still, what’s here is interesting, well presented, and offered at a reasonable price for the couple of hours of education and entertainment it can provide. If you’re a fan of Namco’s earliest works, it’s worth the price of admission.
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.
