Good old school Arcade games on Saturn.

[Betamax001]

I have the Virtua Stick and man I would love to play some Pac Man or Dig Dug or any old school arcade games. I looked and to my dismay there dosen't seem to be an Namco Museum for Saturn. ( I could be wrong and I hope I am) But even if there is no Namco compilation, is there any other similar compilation for another company?

Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits

Street Fighter Collection

Counting Imports, there are a ton. Capcom had several arcade compilations. Check out Capcom Generation 1-5.

From your mention of games like Pac-Man and Dig Dug, I assume you mean late-seventies to mid-eighties. the7k had alot of great suggestions but I'd also include Sega Ages Vol. 1, which is a small compilation of classic AM2 titles. If you're a fan of Space Harrier, OutRun, and After Burner, then it's worth a purchase.

Keep in mind though that with a Virtua Stick, Sega Saturn, and an appetite for classic arcade titles, you might want to focus on the mid-nineties variety as well. There's a wealth of incredible arcade fighters and shmups to be found on the system, as anyone here could tell you.

Just as an interesting side note, you mentioned the lack of any Namco Museum compilations on the Saturn. Would you believe that there are actually no Namco titles on the Saturn whatsoever? Namco and Sega always had a rivalry in the arcades, but they at least released titles like Splatter House, Rolling Thunder, and Dangerous Seed for the Genesis. I guess Sony really pressured them to stay exclusive to the PlayStation after winning over so many people with Ridge Racer and Tekken.

A good way to play arcade games like this is to get a Dreamcast with MAME, and a Saturn-to-Dreamcast controller converter. But that's probably not what you're looking for. Like the previous posters said, there were a ton of arcade compilations released for the Saturn, particularly by Capcom.

Also, keep in mind these were released State side in the Capcom Collection Vol 1 and 2.

That's why I probably wasn't going to get those Capcom imports because they're on the Capcom Classics Collections discs which combined for PS2 would be like 30 bucks. But the Sega one sounds cool as do the various fighting and shmup games.

"I might get one of those Saturn to DC converters so I can play Marvel Vs Capcom 2 with a controller that dosen't completely sucks for fighting games."

[the7k]

I have a controller for the Dreamcast that doesn't completely suck for fighting games. It's called an X-Arcade. =P

It's actually one of the few arcade sticks that is still supported these days that I can use. I hate how all the most recent arcade sticks have that 'ball on a stick' thing going on. I can't grip onto a ball! I need a shaft! =P

Please, go on

Well, it's just that, if I'm going to be jerking something from side to side, up and down, I want it to be a shaft. I don't like playing with balls. Except for trackballs - I do love rubbing my hands all over those.
