Namco Anthology 1

Playing Star Luster in its original form brought back so many memories, and the updated 3D version actually makes navigating the starfield feel more immersive. The two-in-one package is perfect for comparing how games evolved.

Babel’s tower climbing in both classic and 3D forms eats up my evenings, and Star Luster’s Elite-style space exploration is a fantastic time sink. The two-in-one format for each game makes it easy to compare how far the graphics have come.

The 3D update of Star Luster keeps the original's feel while making it much easier to navigate. Playing through these four classics back-to-back is a real treat for any retro fan.
