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:
“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
