Namco 163
Namco 163.jpg
Developer: Namco
Released: 1988-04-05
Type: Chip
Channels:

1.) Wave Table
2.) Wave Table
3.) Wave Table
4.) Wave Table
5.) Wave Table
6.) Wave Table
7.) Wave Table
8.) Wave Table

The NAMCO163 chip (also known as the NAMCO106) chip was an expansion sound chip for the Nintendo Famicom. The chip would allow eight wave table synthesis channels, much like the previous FDS channel. Only Tsukasa Masuko's driver used all eight channels, but Arc System Works was the first company to use the technology, which used four channels. Ironically, even though Namco developed Nintendo games, they never used this chip themselves and instead only published the titles which used the chip. Unfortunately, expansion chips weren't released on any US and Europe consoles, so western gamers weren't able to hear it.
