Namco

1955 Namco began operations with the installation of two rocking horse rides on a department store rooftop. Increasing popularity of arcade video games fueled growth in the 60's and 70's. The Pac-Man game was a huge hit in the 80's. Leading each era by taking the concept of "play" in a variety of directions, Namco has actively pursued the creation of people's dreams.

In the 90's, Namco opened the theme parks Namco Wonder Eggs and Namco Namja Town.
