Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2 (ナムコクラシックコレクション Namuko Kurashikku Korekushon Tsū) is a compilation arcade game that was released by Namco in 1996. It is a collection of three popular Namco games - Pac-Man (1980), Rally-X (1980) and Dig Dug (1982). In addition to the original games, there are "Arrangement" versions that include 2-player simultaneous play, additional enemies, updated graphics and music. Rally-X Arrangement did have 1-player only, unlike all other "Arrangements". In addition the game New Rally-X (1981) is selectable as well. Pac-Man Arrangement is the most notable of the "Arrangement" games.
Ports of the Arrangement games
Pac-Man Arrangement was ported to the Game Boy Advance as part of Pac-Man Collection. This game and Dig Dug Arrangement were also included in the North American exclusive Namco Museum for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube (the compilation mentioned is not to be confused with the Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Collection, which had no "Arrangement" games). Original Pac-Man ends after 20 stages, while Pac-Man Arrangement goes up to stage 23 (the final boss).
