Here is my coverage of Namco Museum Vol. 4. This is the first set in this series where most of the games were not released in arcades outside of Japan. The games in this volume include Pac-Land, Ordyne, Assault, The Retrun of Ishtar, and The Genji and The Heike Clans. There is also a hidden surprise in this volume. Enjoy!

The Return of Ishtar gameplay was aided by my cousin, whose channel name and link is below.
