"The beloved ‘Pac-Man’ was originally named Puckman, after the Japanese onomatopoeia “paku-paku.” It’s the sound made by the mouth opening and closing. You know, like “nom nom nom.” The problem is that even the laziest arcade cabinet vandal could figure out how to scrape off part of the “P,” leaving an F in its place. Rather than leave a bunch of “Fuckman” cabinets in arcades across the country, Midway changed the name to the vandal proof ‘Pac-Man.’"
This is a site dedicated to retro gaming in particular but it'll have other things as well. We are open minded to all sorts of gaming included non-video gaming. Please take a chance and explore what we offer!
