About This Character:  The famous game and character we know today as "Pac-Man" was originally called "Puck-Man".  This was just a development title.  NAMCO designed the game in 1980.  Due to obvious reasons, the name was changed.  Why was he called "Puck-Man", anyway?  He looked like a hockey puck onscreen!  Of course, when the character became popular and fleshed out into cartoons and merchandising, Pac-Man was shaped as a ball.  To be truthful, I never thought too much of the original "Pac-Man" game, but really enjoyed the character in other media such as the cartoons, records, stuffed animals, and so on.  "Pac-Man" was an extremely simple little video game character, but such a backstory was put to him, even a supporting cast!
