Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact item. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Galaga alone could justify this cartridge. Letting a Boss Galaga capture your fighter with its tractor beam, then blasting it to win the ship back and fly two fighters side by side, is one of the great gambles in arcade history, and it is every bit as nerve-racking in the palm of your hand. Namco's Game Boy Advance compilation surrounds it with four more of the company's golden-age coin-ops: Galaxian, Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position and Dig Dug.

Each one plays a different kind of game. Galaxian, from 1979, is the swooping-alien shooter that Galaga grew out of, with flagships diving in at the head of their escorts. Ms. Pac-Man adds new mazes, wandering fruit and less predictable ghosts to the original formula, along with its little intermission cartoons. Dig Dug is all about patience underground: tunnel through the dirt, inflate Pookas and fire-breathing Fygars with your pump, or line them up under a rock and let gravity do the work. Pole Position puts you on Fuji Speedway for a qualifying lap and then a full race, the behind-the-car racer that helped define the genre's view of the road.

The cartridge arrived in 2001, right at the start of the GBA's life in North America, when carrying faithful versions of these games in your pocket still felt like a small miracle. It is also the Game Boy Advance's home for Ms. Pac-Man, who does not appear on Namco's separate Pac-Man Collection cartridge.

These games were designed for the short, high-stakes runs you would get from a single quarter, which makes them a natural fit for a handheld. A round of Dig Dug on a break, one more push at Galaga's Challenging Stages before bed, a few laps chasing a better qualifying time: it is the arcade at its most replayable. Paired with Pac-Man Collection, it covers Namco's golden-age greats on the GBA.
