Nintendo should be top five.  Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, DK3, Mario Bros. Vs Super Mario Bros, Punchout, Super Punchout, and even Arm Wrestling is a great game imo. Namco has to make top five as well.  Pacman Ms. Pacman, Jr. Pacman, Galaxian, and Galaga.

Nintendo? Not even close. I like two of their arcade games, period. Namco is for sure on my short list, it's a ~#7 for me. Keep in mind this list is solely ranked on number of games that I like, not historical impact or anything like that. I'm also probably 10 years younger than the average user here, minimum.

Anyone that could make a game as good as Galaxian prior to 1980 deserves a Nobel Prize.

Top 5 lists are fun. Here are my 5 favorite, in no particular order.

1. Namco (Dig Dug, Mappy, Pac-Man, etc.)
2. Konami (I love the beat 'em ups)
3. SNK (Neo Geo MVS)
4. Atari (Centipede, Millipede, etc.)
5. Capcom (Street Fighter, Final Fight, and more)
