No Namco had nothing to do with LEGO Dimensions. There was a Midway classics pack that came with a LEGO mini arcade cabinet, a 'gamer' LEGO Man, and a Spy Hunter car you could build. You could also unlock a level with LEGO versions of classic Midway games. It's really cool. Other gaming themed LEGO Dimensions sets included Portal and Sonic.
Call me crazy, but I actually really like this one. It's not my favorite Pac-Man game or anything, not even in my top five. But it sure is a memorable game for being so weird. There's never been a game like it since! In a time where everyone else was making me-too Sonic platformers, Namco took their mascot and made something completely different.
If they were going to put a 2 on it, they realy should've called it Pac-Land 2. The Japanese title: "Hello Pac-Man" makes more sense to me, seeing how you play it.
That's neat that you got a PSOne Activision collection. But the best one is the PS2 Activision Anthology. That one rivals the Namco Museums on PSOne as far as presentation and quality goes.
Here's something for you:
Which one? War on Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, or Devastation. I recommend Fall of Cybertron the most, but Devastation is also neat because it's more based on the cartoon than the others.
Stage Select:
I don't like ice levels in games or any level that affects your controls to make things harder. I don't mind water levels as much as others, though.
I also don't like stealth levels where they don't give you the option to fight your way out if you get caught. That's the reason why I stopped playing Beyond Good & Evil.
Cage Match
Red Dead Redemption 2 wins because it's got cowboys and horses. Yee haw! Plus I really liked that cowboy RPG part of Live A Live.
I'd be in big trouble if they did a toys to life game with Pac-Man. Or even worse, one with all classic Namco characters! It's a good thing Namco never made an Animal Crossing game!
I don't know if Nintendo and Ikegami got their issues totally squared away if the only way to get Donkey Kong is to have it go through another company. But oh well. I think both Bandai Namco and ATGames are in the wrong in their issue, but you can read more about that in my Pac-Man Museum article.
I met the guy who played Eddie Munster once at a convention, too.
Slimer was a freaking celebrity when I was a kid. He had his own cartoon and juice box. And when the Ghostbusters sequel came out and Slimer was shown, all the kids in the audience screamed out his name!
That Transformer pictured is not Optimus Prime, but an Autobot named Blaster. He turned into a boom box and was the counterpart to the Decepticon Soundwave. Soundwave was the tape deck who could send out tapes that could transform into littler animals and robots. Soundwave was one of my favorites. I was really into Transformers as a kid for a bit.
I know I've played it on collections, but it wasn't spruced up or anything.
