The Namco Libble Rabble, also known as the Namco System 16 Universal, is an 8-bit arcade system board which was first used by Namco in 1983. Its alternative name predates the Sega System 16 16-bit system board by two years, and it was the first system board from Namco to use a Motorola 68000 microprocessor (running at 6.144 MHz), which would make it the company's most powerful 8-bit arcade system board, until the advent of the Namco Thunder Ceptor system board in 1986.
