Best NAMCO Arcade Games

- Namco (株式会社ナムコ Kabushiki Kaisha Namuko?) is a Japanese company that develops and distributes software in the field of video games, one of the most important in Japan. Namco merged in 2005 with the Bandai toy store, becoming Bandai Namco.
In the decade of the 80s they had great successes, perhaps the most important developer of the golden age of the video game. Galaxian, Pac-Man, Galaga, Xevious, Dig Dug were his first big hits. In the 90's they had many successful series like Ridge Racer, Tekken, Time Crisis, Soul Calibur.
In this video we review the best NAMCO Classic ARCADE games, all their successes, as well as the lesser known ones and their hidden gems, which makes it a video with a high educational value and also for the preservation of the video game.
**Note**: (42:36) Miss name of the game: Great Sluggers '94 (1994) - เกม

I've never been a fan of Pac-Man, but seeing it along with the other games Namco was releasing at the same time makes me understand why it was so popular. It was very good for 1980. For a few seconds I was wondering where Ms. Pac-Man was, but then I remembered it wasn't made by Namco.
I forgot about the super planes and pac and pal games now I'm addicted to pacman 😅
Not a fan of pac-man? Please go and play modern games instead. You have no rights to be here among us true retrogamers. Please leave.
In the case of Ms. PacMan it is because a greedy company that wants royalties every time they use the character
They made some great games. PAC man was definitely one of them.

I think Namco had a great run in the 80s, including the ongoing Namco Museum series!
They were still good in the 90s with ridge racer, tekken, time crisis, and soul calibur. Let alone these games perfected what sega did with the virtua series.
Had? You should visit Japan. Namco still releasing new arcade games.
@@EfficientTrout They are?? I didn't know that to be honest
Companies like Sunsoft had a great run in the 80’s. Namco, on the other hand, is one of the most legendary video game developers of all time. So many elements of the language of video games they either created or perfected. Play Katamari Damacy.
@@Ashton374Wangan Midnight being one of them. They just released a current one not too long ago
Namco made some really weird games between 1987 and 1993. A lot of those games I never heard of and I'm certain never left Japan.
Nah, is Just namco being namco
@@McNugget64remember this was after 1983 so they made most Namco arcade japan exclusives at that point
for many these classics are simple and obsolete but in fact they will always be nostalgic and unforgettable.
Splatter house was way ahead of its time. Cheers for all the great compilations u create.
This company is way ahead of its time
Namco absolutely *_nailed_* the sound and feel of arcade music, especially in the 90's (Namco System 2 and NA-1 arcade boards, Ridge Racer and Tekken), and they helped pioneer a lot of features that we take for granted in video games today. For example, King & Balloon was one of the first games to feature voice acting, Dragon Buster was the first ever video game to use a health bar, and the impressive Winning Run is widely regarded to be the first truly 3-dimensional racing game. Speaking of 3D, this showcase does a pretty good job of highlighting Namco's experimentation with 3D graphics in the late 80's and early 90's.
Namco didn't nail it. They made it. Gaming would not be what it is today if not for these giants.
Their use of FM synth (YM2151) was usually some of the best
Muchísimas gracias por otro gran video!!! 🍸Que tengas un grandioso año!!! 🍸Saludos! !! 🍸
Talk about an hour well spent. I have lived through all the games until 86. To see the evolution of gaming is amazing.

woooooow....! :D
Buen trabajo, muy bien hecho y gracias, :d¡
@@erikoptero4005 De nada
Pin this comment!
Wow Namco nunca deja de sorprenderme .
These were games you could just play. There was no fancy graphics just amazing game play.
My Top 10 Favorite Namco Arcade Games of All-Time
10. Rompers
9. The Tower of Druaga
8. Burning Force
7. Rolling Thunder 1 and 2
6. Thunder Ceptor
5. Pole Position 2
4. Super Pac-Man
3. Libble Rabble
2. Marchen Maze
1. Galaga
Great Sluggers was one game seen , but not identified in your video , thanks for putting this all together.
It was amazing hour. Great work!
Another excellent video.
Congrats.
Que recuerdos... muchas gracias por el video !!!
So happy Dig Dug 2 was featured! That’s my fav arcade game ever
Great company. Specially good in early golden age of video-game and early 32 bit low poly games. I sure miss that game you played with a real bicicle. A unique experience.
Que graaan video. Me encantó descubrir las secuelas de Galaga. Aqua Jet también me parecía un juegazo de chico. Voy a re jugar varios de estos títulos. Ya es hora de que el algoritmo de TH-cam te muestre en la frontpage. Realmente es excelente el trabajo que haces TR. Saludos!
Just like your other videos, I'm really finding (and remembering) some arcade games to add to my upcoming atgames ultimate cabinet!!
Buenísima toda la recopilación. Namco sin dudas es una parte importante de la historia de los videojuegos. De hecho, los dos primeros juegos que jugué en mi vida cuando tenía 3 años fueron el Galaga y el Pacman, ambos en este recopilatorio.
Primero que nada me he apuntado varios shoot'em ups para probar que me parecieron geniales. Segundo, nunca me va a dejar de sorprender la distancia técnica que había en Japón: el primer juego que aquí se ve en un 3D muy muy competente, es el Wining Run, de 1988..... o sea.... casi 10 años antes de que en occidente veamos un arcade en 3D, y bastante mas antes de que viésemos un 3D medianamente competente. Yo nunca he sido un fan del 3D y ni en los tiempos de su advenimiento me ha hecho especial ilusión, pero hay que reconocer que la mayoría de los juegos 3D que aquí se ven aguantan bien el paso de los años, son boinitos y perfectamente jugables.
Un saludo y gracias una vez mas por recopilar en un solo video un pedacito de historia.
Your MAME videos are the best of their kind on all of TH-cam. Keep it up.
Wow! Some of these I had no idea Namco made!
懐かしい☆ 良い動画、ありがとうございます☆
:) thanks for bringing back the good old memories! I really loved playing these games! I still play some of them since I have the Namco Arcade game for Xbox 360! I just wish everyone had the chance to play these good old games!
namco definetly made some classics!!
(games of my youth..:)
Minuto 7:50, no sé porque, pero ese juego ‘Dragon Buster" de 1984 me hace recordar un poco a The Legend of Zelda. En fin... ¡Excelente recopilación de la legendaria Namco, dejando su huella imborrable en la historia de los videojuegos!
Se parece un leve, síp, :).
初期から80年代に掛けて爆発するオリジナリティ、頭にこびりつく旋律、ナムコらしさが弾けていた時代が本当に懐かしい
その後に印象に残っているゲームとしては「鉄拳」くらいしかなく、個人的にはもっと尖ったゲームを沢山作って欲しかったなぁと
個人的には「フォゾン」の様な他社では絶対に作れない様なゲームをもっと見たかった
EXCELLENT piece,
Brava!!
Now those are some seriously good sound fx!!
Cool stuff thanks for the memories
All these games and we stay getting the same ol ones on the Museum collections...
Uff se nota que tenian gran variedad de juegos, recuerdo que me gustaba jugar Battle City de niño y los tipo Galaga o el de Mappy y Dig Dug pero los conoci en la NES xD de arcade si pude jugar algunas veces Lucky & Wild y Time Crisis ademas de Tekken 2 y 3 o la primera vez que vi Soul Calibur quede impresionado *_* pero creo que lo mas cool de esos arcades de los tipo carreras y disparos era jugarlos en las cabinets. Tambien gracias a que pude jugar Namco x Capcom conoci algunos de esos personajes clasicos para despues jugar Baraduke y Burning Force pero no habia visto gameplay de juegos como Wonder Momo y Bravoman, o el juego de la Valkirye que se ve bastante bonito y Shadowland. Muy buen video recopilatorio.
How Namco kept afloat with some of those games was a miracle. But they persevered and triumphed. Did not know they dabbled early in 3d in 1988.
The Japanese Gamer has much different taste to the west, some spawning good games and others spawning questionable (to us westeners) like some of these :)
Taiko no tatsujin
Tekken 7 and 8
Klonoa phantasy reveire
Katamari damacy reroll
Nanomachines da-don!
Namco has great games! Good list! Thanks!
Amazing memories my friend !! Sound was so annoying, however we always loved it. Hahaha
Retro always in our memories, I have opened a session for retro on my channel.
They must never be forgotten and left behind.
Keep them alive and thanks for sharing these precious arcade games.
Eyes peeled for your next post
Que museo tan grande de Namco. Maravilloso y hermoso. Deberias Namco sacar Museum de juegos que muestran en este vídeo.
Si
Y también la historia de la empresa Namco (Bandai Namco). Galería de imágenes de como comenzaron.
47:22 el juego que empezó todo, 1995, de ser un simple juegodbe aviones a ser una experiencia inolvidable, de Air Combat a la saga Ace Combat, 25 años de vida que sigue en pie, no todos los juegos tienen el mérito de seguir desde antes
@@matthewmondragon2074 WOW, La manera en como lo escribes...realmente eres un Super-Fan de Ace Combat!!
@@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269 mi perfil te da una pista? Trigger del AC7 y si, soy fan de la saga, y todo comenzó en Ace Combat 22 en arcade y Air Combat para PSX en 1995, el resto se cuenta solo
Oh shit I didn't know Metal Hawk was a Namco game. Thanks for this OP. I used to play it all the time!
awesome video!
thanks for sharing TheRadik
Love Namco's games pre 1997 rolling thunder was a game I loved as a kid didn't like maboo's laugh as a kid but now I've grown used to it
we were truly blessed to be growing up around these lol
Eran de mí infancia 🤗 gracias
time crisis is godly! a remaster for the pc of the series + spin offs will be amazing!
From New Rally-X to Pole Position I was asking myself how many years of technical advancement had passed, but much to my surprise they were made on the same year! LOL
Great video.. I watch all your videos with pen and paper then head to play them on MAME
Awesome video 😎👌
Un gran saludo,
Quiero felicitarle antes que nada por el gran trabajo recopilatorio y de edición de tu canal.
Quisiera saber que emular utilizas para los juegos en 3d como; Aqua Jet, Tekken, Dirt dash, entre otros, me gustaría disfrutar de esos títulos pero en MAME, la mayoría de juegos de esas características no le emula correctamente.
Gracias,
Muchas gracias por valioso trabajo.
¡ Enhorabuena ! Tus videos son de lo mejor que he visto. ¿ Tienes alguna web con consejos sobre la plataforma o emuladores que usas ? Tampoco sé como conseguir todos esos juegos. Gracias.
制限あるが故にゲームデザイン、BGMが洗練されてるので逆に新鮮
COOLすぎる❣️
So many classics in there
muy matematicos sus juegos Me Encanta!
Great Job !!!
Each game is just as amazing as the last!
Though if I had to choose my favorite, it would probably be Pac-Land
i hate world court because this tennis game was very cheap and i prefer mario tennis
El del min42.32s no sabemos cual es..no hay nombre..buen video!

直線の動きしかなかったSTGで滑らかな曲線の動きが斬新だった｢ギャラクシアン｣、ゲームの中に世界観(=ストーリー)をしっかり持っている｢ゼビウス｣。この2タイトルがシューティング界のブレイクスルーだよな。
Thanks for the sweet memories. Now I have 20 new ringtones for my phone!
(7:24 Every time that Pole Position car skidded I used to pretend a lady was getting stabbed in the shower.)
39:28 "Wow, what a start, this is just what I wanted to see"
Hey! You're going for a goal by going the other way around, huh? You're crazy!!
I hate racing games!
ナムコだけの時は面白いゲームを沢山作っていたんだけどね。
今はナムコミュージアムに収録されているゲームしか分からない。
The Outfoxies! Menudo vicio! ¿Porque no continuaron la saga? Es un grandisimo videojuego.
Siempre que se habla de Namco se recuerda el Galaga y el Pac-Man, actualmente se menciona la gran saga de Tekken... Pero que inmensa calidad y cantidad de juegos hay entre esos iconos!!!
Exacto, x'd/.
さすがNAMCO‼️今でも通用する名作が目白押しですね😸💦🎵

Next to Nintendo Namco games were a pretty significant part of my childhood, hell my first introduction to Pac man was from the namco collection from the Ds
Buen video
sega 32x and snes with the super fx: we had the greatest 3d games for the 90s
namco 3d arcade games of the 90s: hold my beer
Well in my mid 40s now. I remember playing some of these as a kid. Especially pole position with the steering wheel, the pedal, and the gearbox. My favorite arcade game has to be Street fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat 1.
1987's Dragon Spirit was tough as nails with no continues
Thanks!
Some games had excellent soundtracks and sound. I wish Bandai Namco would market most of their games in arcade compilations. They could makes lots of money.
８０年代のゲームデザインがぶっ飛びすぎて・・・この時代の日本ってホント世界最強だな
41:22 FINALLY FOUND IT!, it was so hard to find this game even when there aren't many arcade games with 2 sticks, had no idea it had a prequel
ah cyber sled .. i used to think that game was awesome as a kid going into the arcades
OMG EVERYBODY ONLY PAUS ATTENTION TO THE RACING GAMES! AM I THE ONLY ONES THAT HATE THEM? THOSE GAMES DONT EVEN HAVE CHARACTERS!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Nice!
Namco is simply the best
Seems like almost any game by Namco was top quality. Even after merging with Bandai I still think Namcois one of the best video game developers.
Nuevo seguidor!
Gracias por el apoyo
Not 100% Namco, but both Ms. and Jr. Pac-Man are excellent games if you are a big fan of the original but want something slightly different. There's also Pac-Man Plus which is just a harder and modified sprites classic Pac-Man, but as fun as it is there's nothing really special there. Still good though. It's a shame that Jr. never got the attention it deserved and that Ms. has been erased from Namco's lineup...
In my opinion Rolling Thunder is the GOAT of arcade games, hands down! Loved it my whole life.
You are a special kind of stupid...in the terms of person based shooters, Metal Slug and Contra are infinitely better games.
@@paxhumana2015 How am I stupid for having my own opinion. Read first before you reply back dumbass
In my opinion, Mappy is the best.
@@retrofan4963 that game is awesome. Love that one.
ドラゴンスピリットが好きすぎて(照)でもPS2版アーケードヒッツは4面ボス撃破時のバグに泣かされた😭やっぱりPS1のミュージアムvol5が至高💕

Galaga!!! Best game ever created.... Mic Drop!!!
Lies
Mappy is the best game ever created in my opinion.
Happy New Game Year
37:28 I'm willing to guess this game Lucky and Wild was supposed to be a video game tie in for the movie Tango and Cash but NAMCO didn't secure the rights. Mostly because it's a shooter but also the characters do look like both Stallone and Russell. Also, never heard of this game but it looks like it's good.
Legend Of Valkyrie, so that's where Cassandra's outfit from Soul Calibur 2 came from.
thunder ceptor was way ahead of its time.
I think there’s something unique on the sound font used for Namco’s arcade games. Maybe it’s the synth?
It gives so much identity to their games.
Maybe, :).
FM Synthesis. Used on most of Yamaha's early arcade sound chips including the YM2151, but more importantly also used by Sega, Capcom, and Konami. These tunes have that familiarity or range that you only hear at the arcade.
There were some 2000’s arcade games you left out.
Fun Fact: Tekken is Namco's first ever 3D fighting game that Rivals Sega's Virtua Fighter
😂"Mr drill" was a game I could never play because of the long lines...I miss the arcades of the past.
nice list of games but you are forgetting two of them: Galaxian 3 and attack of the zolgear. Other than that great video, I am Impressed.
Please make a namco museum with this games
In our Namco museum it will be the game shows on remember this unbelievable
I came here to see if anyone can help me find a game that I used to really like. It came on Polystation Cassette. *I don't remember the name.* It went something like this: The game is very colorful 8-bit, you have 3 eligible characters: a samurai (wearing white top and black pants), a cowboy (black hat with a gray line, black bread, white shirt and black vest) and a bandit. You have to walk the roofs and roofs of the buildings and from a certain point, you enter one of the buildings. And the first boss to appear was a Knight, one of those who wear medieval armor and used a mangual (a stick that has a spiked metal ball chained on it) And that's all I remember.
nice HLSL effects.
I now love namco
ドラスピ以後の細江氏作曲のBGMがやばすぎる。ゲームミュージックオタから作曲家になったのも細江氏のおかげです。
実は、ドラゴンスピリットは細江さんの作曲デビュー作だったりする。
元々アルバイターから作曲者になるというのは、KONAMI出身で、グラディウス、沙羅曼蛇等が代表作の東野氏とほぼ同じ系譜ですねぇ。
Thunder Ceptor looks advanced af for the time
