This is a review of the best arcade coin-operated games year-by-year. "Puckman" (Namco) was released in 1980 in Japan and later that year in the USA as "Pac-Man" (Midway). The footage was emulated on MAME.

Miss PAC-man on my iPod..:)

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@umbsix You know Midway was going to call it 'Miss Pac-Man' but a couple of the women there pointed out that in one of the scenes there is a baby Pac-Man. if they are not married, then you know what that makes the kid? In the early 1980s that would be scandelous so they changed the name to Ms. Pac-Man to indicate it's a woman that could be or could not be married.

this is a great video. damnit biff should have his own show, or be an official video game segment reporter for CNN or something.

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@IAmClearlyTheBest you know, you could just do a search on the internet. Maybe wikipedia or mame or just in google.

[Jarad100]

@BiffsGamingVideos It's just that I can't get past the third level! I also can't imagine how boring it must be to endure that far!

[jazzx251]

I remember it was called Puckman in my English seaside town - so we must have imported in the Japanese machines.

[BiffsGamingVideos]

@IAmClearlyTheBest You thought wrong. Sorry dude.

[PowerToolRaptor101]

I think I would have perferred the F version, lol.

I did not know where I got the idea of a hockey puck. So, PacMan comes from some Japanese word meaning the motion of eating. I have heard about the tendency of the people to erase the part of the P. It is crazy that anyone would make a joke with the profane words.
