Yeah, it seems by naming the game "Museum", they're trying to appeal to a preservation angle, but then modifying the games seems to undermine the point

- dwighttk 2y agoWe’re gonna make a game called Pac-Man museum! Yay! Later: legal says we can’t use Ms Pac-Man
- dfxm12 2y agoFWIW, the original "museum" games by Namco (in the PSX era) were set in a virtual museum, A 3D space that you walked through in first person perspective. Each game was set in its own gallery with a bunch of paraphernalia hanging around it that you could look at and get more info about. I don't think preservation was implied, it was just a skeuomorphic display metaphor. The name stuck, even if the UI changed. I enjoyed the whimsy of them.
