I do enjoy a good classic game, but we all have to look to the progenitors to gaming - Atari in the US and Namco in Japan.

Funnily enough, the ties between these companies go way back. Namco had the right to distribute Atari games in Japan until Iwatani made Pacman.

And then Atari went bust and Nakamura, CEO and founder of Namco bought the Arcade division and formed Atari Games from it, until Midway bought Time-Warner bought them out.
