The original Pac-Man was called "Puck-man."


Think of the bad jokes that'll stir up if they kept the original name.

They were mostly concerned about people scratching off just a little bit of the "P" on the game case, making it say something completely different.

Thats what I read as well.

Its easier to come up with a bad joke than to scratch the "P" in an arcade without getting caught.

To be honest, I'm not a console person either, but this one just might convert me.
