Namco was a powerhouse for decades in the arcades and consoles, but for over a decade, their star has dimmed. In this exclusive Old-School Gamer list, we share five Namco games we’d love to see come back from the dead.

Pac-Man: The classic maze gameplay, but in VR or 3D? That would be awesome.

Galaga: This game is still awesome and a 3D coat of paint and the same killer gameplay would be a blast.

Ridge Racer: This was once the best racing series in the world. It’s time it reclaims its thrown.

Dragon Spirit: One of the best shooters ever, with one of the best soundtracks, deserves to be revisited.

Weaponlord: Sure, Tekken is still going strong, but real gamers remember this one.
