A straight up mix of 4s and 5s for you. This was an excellent game. Graphically smooth, conceptually neat, and actual solid gameplay. Well done on all counts!
Okay, you might have gained a few stars on the theme, but I don't get the point on making revivals... specially when there's nothing new on them. To me, even though Innovation is just one category, I always expect something new on this competition. I didn't have the patience to go through 2nd level, but judging by the screenshots, it was a good work on every level. IA is ok as well.
I like the progression between the games. The Breakout part was a little twitchy for my slow reflexes, so it got a little frustratingly long. The others were good (though maybe not perfect) feel.
Well executed homage mash-up. Great work on the transitions between games, seamless. Smart use of lives lost, anything else would have been frustrating.
The humor was great, especially the high scores screen where you finish just off of making the leaderboards. Very funny. Having the lives and score counter consistent through each game was nice to keep them linked. I think that this would have worked a lot better with the theme if, instead of adding features to each new stage, you worked your way backward to the most basic visuals. Fun play, good work.
I have to say, despite all the other original games in this competition, I'm still getting the most fun out of good old classics! good rendition, smooth controls and great music. That's all we need!
Actually, I had this EXACT same idea, it's scribbled on some graph paper. It involved going from PONG up to modern day games, but we decided on an ASCII thing instead.
It's a nice compilation of some classic game mechanics, transitions between stages are really cool. I found two things to be quite annoying: the first one is the dying sound, the second is performance, which was quite poor despite the minimalistic graphics, the game was especially laggy in breakout/arkanoid mode (I was playing in Firefox 21 stable).

This was a lot of fun, had a smile on my face through most of it. Very polished, very funny, very NAMCO Museum-y. I'll echo some earlier comments in that a twist or two to the familiar formulas would have been nice, but for what you set out to create this was very strong.

You made me feel like a child, the only thing you could change is the order of the games breakout took too long...

No really, excellent all the way through.
