{{CompanyInfobox |ctype = Public |type = Developer |image = Logo namco.jpg |foundation = 1955 |hq = Tokoyo |hqcountry = Japan }} '''Namco''' is the game developing company behind such classics as [[Galaga]] and [[Pac-Man]]. They were founded in 1955 as a company that created children's toys. Then known as Nakamura Manufacturing, their name was changed to "Namco" when they obtained [[Atari]]'s Japan division, their first step into the video game industry. Unfortunately, many recent games remain without a quality English translation, if one at all. Other famous Namco [[intellectual properties]] include the [[Tekken (series)|''Tekken'' series]] abd [[Soul Calibur (series)|''Soul Calibur'' series]], the [[Tales of]] [[Action RPG]]s, the [[Ridge Racer (series)|''Ridge Racer'' series]] and ''[[Katamari Damacy]]''. In 2005, Namco merged with [[Bandai]] to create ''[[Bandai Namco]]'', creator of many anime-licensed video games such as ''[[Gundam Battle Assault]]'', ''[[One Piece: Grand Battle]]'' and the [[.hack// (series)|''.hack//'' series]] of video games. ==Namco games== {|- | valign=top| * ''[[Air Combat]]'' * ''[[Ace Combat 2]]'' * ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]'' * ''[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]'' * ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]]'' * ''[[Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis]]'' * ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' * ''[[Battle City (video game)]]'' * ''[[Bosconian]]'' * ''[[Break Down]]'' * ''[[Burning Force]]'' * ''[[Cyber Sled]]'' * ''[[Dig Dug]]'' * ''[[Dig Dug II: Trouble in Paradise]]'' * ''[[Digital Devil Story - Megami Tensei]]'' * ''[[Digital Devil Story - Megami Tensei II]]'' * ''[[Dragon Buster]]'' * ''[[Dragon Buster II: Yami no Fuuin]]'' * ''[[Dragon Valor]]'' * ''[[Dragon Spirit]]'' * ''[[Dragon Saber]]'' * ''[[Dead to Rights]]'' * ''[[Death By Degrees]]'' * ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' * ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' * ''[[Donkey Konga 3]]'' * ''[[Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken]]'' * ''[[Final Lap]]'' * ''[[Fushigi no Umi no Nadia]]'' * ''[[Galaga]]'' * ''[[Galaxian]]'' * ''[[Ghoul Panic]]'' * ''[[Hydlide 3: Yami kara no Houmonsha]]'' * ''[[I-Ninja]]'' * ''[[J-League Prime Goal EX]]'' * ''[[J-League Prime Goal EX]]'' * ''[[Jikuu Yuuden Debias]]'' * ''[[Jr. Pacman]]'' * ''[[Kaena]]'' * ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'' * ''[[Klonoa]]'' * ''[[Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Valor]]'' * ''[[Klonoa: Door To Phantomile]]'' * ''[[Kaena]]'' * ''[[Libero Grande]]'' * ''[[Lost Heroes]]'' * ''[[Mappy]]'' * ''[[Megami Tensei]]'' * ''[[Metal Marines]]'' * ''[[Metro Cross]]'' * ''[[MotoGP]]'' * ''[[MotoGP3]]'' * ''[[Motos]]'' * ''[[Mr. Driller]]'' * ''[[Mr. Driller 2]]'' * ''[[Mr. DRILLER: Drill Spirits]]'' | valign=top| * ''[[Ms. Pac-Man]]'' * ''[[Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum 64]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Encore]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Vol. 1]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Vol. 2]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Vol. 3]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Vol. 4]]'' * ''[[Namco Museum Vol. 5]]'' * ''[[The Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' * ''[[Pac-in-Time]]'' * ''[[Pac-Land]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man Collection]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man Vs.]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man World]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man World 2]]'' * ''[[Pac-Man: Special Color Edition]]'' * ''[[Pac-Mania]]'' * ''[[Pac-Pix]]'' * ''[[Point Blank]]'' * ''[[Point Blank 2]]'' * ''[[Point Blank 3]]'' * ''[[Pole Position]]'' * ''[[Pole Position II]]'' * ''[[Rally-X]]'' * ''[[Ridge Racer]]'' * ''[[R.B.I.
