Next Generation

The game received average reviews. Next Generation said, "With two volumes still to come, Namco is clearly stretching a series that could have been condensed into three discs without the superfluous B titles. But the number of true classics in Volume 3 [sic] outweigh the ones that never should have been unearthed."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[8]
Dr. Zombie of GamePro called it "must-have arcade fun that will provide hours of classic gaming until Namco preps Volume 4. Thanks for the memories, Namco!"[13][a]
