The Namco System 2 arcade system board was first used by Namco in 1987 and was a major enhancement to the previous Namco System 1 arcade system board. It was later succeeded by the 3D Namco System 21 "Polygonizer" in 1988.
Final Lap (1987) was the first game to use this board, and also the first to feature multiplayer. The following year, more games using this board were released, including Assault, Assault Plus, Ordyne, Metal Hawk, Mirai Ninja and Phelios. In 1989 they released Valkyrie No Densetsu, Dirt Fox, Finest Hour, Burning Force, Four Trax and Marvel Land.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“In the end we beat them with Levi 501 jeans. Seventy-two years of Communist indoctrination and propaganda was drowned out by a three-ounce Sony Walkman. A huge totalitarian system ... has been brought to its knees because nobody wants to wear Bulgarian shoes.... Now they’re lunch, and we’re number one on the planet.”
