List of Namco games
Since its start, when it operated rides for children at a Yokohama department store, Namco has grown into one of the top video game manufacturers in Japan. Its games are known worldwide, both in video arcades and on home video game consoles. Today, Namco Bandai Games is the successor to Namco's legacy and continues manufacturing and distributing video games around the world.
Arcade releases
At first, Namco distributed its games itself in Japan, while relying on third-party companies, such as Atari and Midway Manufacturing to distribute them in North America and other regions under their own brand names. Later, it would handle more of its own distribution.
