htoutlaws2012 A list of the most memorable arcade titles by Namco.

The Top Ten

1 Pac-Man Pac-Man

I do like this game, but I suck at it. Maybe I will like it more if I get better. But galaga is my favorite because it's the game I've got down to a science, and I've played galaga my whole life.

Pac man the best arcade game of all time and I think the best Atari game ever scratch that it is

Namco's flagship character and the most popular of the namco games - htoutlaws2012

Best arcade game, worst atari game. - CompleteRandom

4 Ms. Pac-Man

The most influential female video game character came from this game, and in my opinion the game just plays better than pac man. - GreninjaGuy

Best game ever. PacMan with 100 times more stuff!

It’s way better than regular Pac-Man to me. - AliciaMae

6 Mappy Mappy

This game is cute! - Chikinan

7 Pole Position II

More races to choose and very fun for a racing game as long as you get use to the controls - htoutlaws2012

8 Rolling Thunder

One of my new favorites. Damn, Albatross is HAWT! - Chikinan

9 Galaxian

If you like slow paced games this game is for you - htoutlaws2012

10 Xevious Xevious

Tetsuya Mizuguchi played this game and the SFX was like music to him. That was one of the inspirations for Rez, one of my favorite games of all time. I also like this game because it reminds me a bit of Touhou. - Chikinan

The Contenders

11 Super Pac-Man

Easier than the original Pac Man.

12 Ridge Racer

13 Bravoman

14 Dragon Buster

Think of it as the main character looks like link from legend of Zelda with some RPG elements to it - htoutlaws2012

15 Rally-X

New Rally-X is better

16 Wonder Momo

17 Time Crisis

18 Shadow Land

19 Pac-Mania

The only pacman game that you can jump very revoutional for the time - htoutlaws2012

20 Baraduke

21 Dragon Spirit

22 Time Crisis 2

23 Alpine Racer

24 Space Invaders

This game should be top ten

Space Invaders isn't even a Namco game, it was made by Taito

25 Pole Position

26 Sky Kid

27 Tekken 3

28 Legend of Valkyrie

29 Dig Dug II

30 Assault

31 The Tower of Druaga

What? This game is terrible! The controls are awkward, the graphics are bland, the gameplay is slow and boring, the mazes are a chore to navigate, the music is annoying, the levels are repetitive, the enemies are clumsy, and the whole experience is clunky and definitely not worth your time. "The Tower of Druaga" doesn't measure up to ONE of the other arcade titles by Namco. Not even close! Spend your quarter on "Pac-Man", "Dig-Dug", or "Galaga", but unless you want to waste a quarter, don't play "The Tower of Druaga"!

32 Libble Rabble

33 Final Furlong

I love this game!

34 Grobda

35 Galaga (arranged)

36 Pac-Man (arranged)

37 Dig Dug (arranged)

38 New Rally-X

39 Motos

40 Pac-Land

"Pac-Land" is incredibly lame! You play a Pac-Man who's constantly running out of energy as if he was dying, and all you do is take a walk through your neighborhood, jumping over and ducking under flying ghosts, while munching the occasional fruit treat or power pellet. The game offers little challenge, the levels are practically the same, with the occasional forest, the controls are clunky, and the experience is very shallow and boring. It's a game that you will play once, and never play again. The only two games by Namco I can think of that are worse than "Pac-Land" are "The Tower of Druaga", and "Phozon". Don't waste your precious money on this suck fest, unless you're an old geezer who likes to take walks for fun.

41 PacWhiz
