Solid collection of many games throughout Pac-Man's history. There are some exclusions such as Ms. Pac-Man and some games that could see a return such as Pac-Man: Adventures in Time. Nonetheless, the games present here all have their place and offer a variety of experiences, from the old to new.

All the games in my experience run and play well, there's some input lag issues in games such as Pac-Land and Pac-Man: Championship Edition, but for the most part the games play well. Games are played in their correction aspect ratios, controls work fine on most games, and all the arcade games are their actual arcade versions.

The addition of the Arcade adds a lot of charm to the collection, being able to decorate your own Arcade room however you wish. You start off with a basic room, but you can earn more decorations by completing missions in the games, which can include missions such as eating a set number of ghosts or completing a certain level. These missions can earn you rewards to use in the Arcade room such as new decorations, more arcade cabinets, and background music to play.

As you play games, you can earn coins to use in the Arcade. The amount of coins you can earn from the games can depend on your performance in a game session, mainly your high score for most games. Normally you would use these coins to insert them into the arcade games such as the original Pac-Man (like a real arcade), but you can also use these coins to buy more decorations from the Vending Machine and figures from the Gashapon. Figures in the Gashapon can consist of characters and items, including the fruits and the ghosts. These figures can also come in silver or gold, though they are rarer to obtain.

Pac-Man: Museum+ is a nice collection of Pac-Man games at an affordable price, it is a nice way to get back into Pac-Man and explore some of his familiar and even unknown titles over the years. It has a nice amount of replay value and getting better at Pac-Man is always a fun time. Looking forward to Pac-Man World Re-Pac!
