RIP! I remember Pac Man from junior highschool. Tabletop video game. Good memories.

The game was very simple but a lot of fun. Still good memory.

"Father" of Pac-Man? He didn't design it, just started the company that put it out. Toru Iwatani is the real "father".

Rest in Peace, Nakamura-san. Awww, to remember the days of my youth! Endless hours spent playing...and then memorizing a "pattern" that would evade the Ghosts and allow me to rack up the Highest score. Lol!

Such fun times.

It took me twenty years of living in Japan to make the connection that he's called Pacman because he "pakupaku suru", the very common Japan onomatopoeia for eating heartily.

Like a lot of classic early video games, there's a lot of originality and off-the-wall creativity in there, so RIP.

My wrist used to hurt after playing Pac-Man. Had to stop playing it.
