Play Namco Gallery Vol.2 (Japan) Online

Namco Gallery Vol. 2 came out for the Game Boy in 1996, a time when handheld compilations offered a practical way to revisit older games on the go. Published by Namco, this collection bundled a few of their arcade classics into one cartridge, fitting right in with the portable, pick-up-and-play style that defined the system.

You control familiar characters like Pac-Man and the Galaga ship, navigating mazes or horizontal stages while avoiding enemies and collecting items. The main goal in each game is to achieve a high score by clearing stages, outmaneuvering ghosts, or destroying waves of alien ships. Signature mechanics include maze navigation with power pellets for temporary advantage, and precise dodging and shooting in fixed screen combat. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty remains challenging in the way arcade games often are. It feels straightforward and satisfying to play in short bursts, especially when you just want something immediate and familiar.
