\"\"<\/a>When I was a kid, I remember record players and vinyl still being around.\u00a0 But they were quickly replaced by cassette tapes and CDs later.\u00a0 But now records are making a comeback over the past few years.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the technology of record players getting better or hipsters longing for that classic record sound.\u00a0 But now you can also get video game soundtracks on vinyl as well.\u00a0 So here\u2019s a review of a Namco Museum record I got this past Christmas!<\/p>\n

I knew about this Namco Museum record long before Christmas last year, but I didn\u2019t buy it because it was kind of expensive and I knew it was just basically arcade sound effects.\u00a0 I think my family who bought it for me thought it was a new Pac-Man Fever record (I still have my old one from when I was a kid).\u00a0 But I\u2019m glad they got it for me for Christmas anyway because sometimes the best gifts are the ones you want, but wouldn\u2019t buy for yourself.\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s a bigger picture of the front of the record case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The record has select sound effects and music from classic Namco arcade games from the 80\u2019s.\u00a0 Side One has sounds and music from Pac-Man, Galaga, New Rally X, Mappy, Xevious, Dig Dug, and Bosconian.\u00a0 Side Two has Gaplus (Galaga 3), Dragon Buster, Tower of Druaga, SkyKid, The Return of Ishtar, and Splatterhouse.\u00a0 Here is a shot of the back of the record case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The record case holds two things, a sleeve for the record, and a booklet with info on the games featured on the record.\u00a0 The neat thing is that the outside case has a hole in it, and the back of the case, the record sleeve, and the booklet has screenshots from other games that you can put in instead.\u00a0 So if you don\u2019t want Pac-Man on the front, you can also have Galaga, Mappy, or Dig Dug on the cover.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a shot of all the sleeves and things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a picture of one of the pages in the booklet.\u00a0 You get artwork and some information on each of the games featured on the record.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last is a picture of the record itself.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s neat how they put artwork on it.\u00a0 Back when I was a kid, I remember most of the records we had were just black.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it!\u00a0 Do you still have any old records? \u00a0Or new ones?\u00a0 Let me know in the comments section.\u00a0 Aside from this Namco Museum record and my old Pac-Man Fever album, I know I still have a Pac-Man Christmas record from when I was a kid as well!\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
