Favorite Namco arcade game is Alpine Surfer. It's a fun game and mainly because it gave me the best arcade memory of my childhood. My elementary school took us on a field trip to Disneyland for 6th grade graduation ('96) and at one point we were all in the 2 story arcade next to Space Mountain. Me and some friends were walking around and we saw a bunch of other kids playing this new arcade game called Alpine Surfer. Now at that time in my life I was hooked on buying every issue of "Tips & Tricks" magazine because it was all about the cheat codes, and it even had this cool arcade coverage section. So when I saw that arcade I immediately remembered the cheat code and I just waited patiently in line for my turn w/o even saying anything about it. When it was my turn I entered the code at the selection screen and when the game started, all my friends and the other kids around the arcade started making a bunch of noise and commotion because I was playing as a penguin sliding down the mountain instead of a snowboarder. Next thing I knew there was a huge crowd behind me of kids and parents cheering and laughing every time the penguin would go off a jump and do some flips and tricks.. and when my turn finally ended everyone started clapping and cheering and I was swarmed by kids asking me "How did you do that!?" ..but I never told.
If I had to pick a Namco game for the home console I'd pick Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast. That game got a lot of play time with me and my friends.
This probably does not really count since it is a Fromsoft game and published by Bandai Namco but the Dark Souls series has become one of my favourite of all time.
When I die, I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandpa did. Not like the screaming passengers in his car.
"Stay out of it, totem pole! I’ll hit ya so hard, you’ll grow old bouncing!" "What?" "I’ll smack ya so hard your grandkids’ll have headaches!" "They will not!" "Will too!" "Shut up!"
