Info: Created by Tohru Iwatani. The hero was named Puckman, evidently due to his shape. Before its release in the United States, the title was changed to Pac-man because Puckman was an easy target for vandals to convert into a vulgarity.
Namco acquired the rights in 1982.
This version of Pac-man was hand-coded by Paul Neave. Copyright belongs to Namco Ltd.
