Namco
Namco Limited (株式会社ナムコ, Kabushiki Gaisha Namuko) (commonly referred to as Namco) is a Japanese corporation best known as a former video game developer and publisher. Following a merger with Bandai in September 2005, the two companies' game production assets were spun off into Bandai Namco Games on March 31, 2006, now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment. Namco was re-established to continue domestic operation of video arcades and amusement parks. Its headquarters are located in Ōta, Tokyo. The company's English name is often officially written as NAMCO (in all capital letters).
Namco was a front-runner during the golden age of arcade video games. Pac-Man, arguably their most famous title, went on to become the best-selling arcade game in history and an international popular culture icon. They are also known for creating successful franchises such as Galaxian, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Tekken, as well as the Soul and Tales series.
History
Masaya Nakamura founded the company as Nakamura Manufacturing in 1955. Based in Tokyo, the company started out by running children's rides on the roof of a department store in Yokohama. The business eventually expanded throughout the Tokyo area. Nakamura Manufacturing was reorganized in 1958 and later underwent a name change to Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Company, which would be used to form the acronym "NAMCO." In 1970, the company produced a coin-operated mechanical driving simulator called "Racer."

Namco (automobiles)
NAMCO (National Motor Company of Greece) is a Greek vehicle manufacturer. It was founded in 1972 by brothers Petros Tzannetos Kontogouris and Rodolfos Kontogouris.
History
The first efforts of the Kontogouris brothers involved attempts to build a light truck called Hellas in Germany. In 1957, they acquired rights to a production technology of a multi-purpose vehicle developed by Swiss engineer Dr. Wilfried Fahr. In 1961, Kontogouris created their first company (FARCO) in Thessaloniki, Greece, to produce the vehicle, called FARMOBIL, with BMW 700 flat-2 engine. Ironically, this smart vehicle was not certified for the Greek market and all production was exported to several countries around the world. In 1963, the company was acquired by Chrysler and renamed it Chrysler Hellas S.A. In 1967, production in Greece was stopped by the American company, and was transferred to other countries. Meanwhile, in 1961 ambitious plans were made by the Kontogouris Brothers for a new company (to be called NAMCO) with a new factory in Patras, Greece to produce under licence a German-designed (Neckar) three-wheeler truck and other vehicles, but were not materialized.

Deadly Threshold
by: NaumachiaBroken wings upon me,
Disappointed's tears
Perverse fortune wakes up
Magnitude of my exist
Waiting for sentence of the death
Suspended in huge vacuum
I still count of fast solution
Imprison pieces of soul
Only aim to destruction
Waiting for the death
I'm hiding in his arms
(Chorus)
Mighty lord take of the spell
Take of course that made me blind
Am I over death am I over life
He: Groggy of wasted fear / She: Me against my life,
I,m folding roses on my grave / Me against my heart
Retard remain of human wishes / Me against my love,
Climbing to prevent escape / Me against my blood.
He: Lord of darkness side / She: Lord of darkness side
I entrust to you my life! / Give me back my life!
She: I'm calling you, I'm waiting for your awakening, Rise! across the deadly threshold!
He: I hear your voice, I fell sweet numbness, your tears are falling down on my haunted soul...
(Chorus)
Mighty lord take of the spell
Take of course that made me blind
Am I over death am I over life?!
Mighty lord take of the spell
Take of course that made me blind
