Puck Man

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-28-2006, 04:00 AM

Now, we all know Pac-Man is/was called Puck Man in Japan, but look at this Japanese flyer for the original Arcade game and tell me by looking at his face that he wasn't named "Puck" man for a reason.

Is it cause his nose looks like a penis?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-28-2006, 05:21 PM

Well, I guess they had to put it somewhere since he's just a face.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-28-2006, 05:47 PM

He also seems to be jerking off in that bottom pic.

*Hannah* · 06-28-2006, 05:54 PM

They neutered him. =(

Now I know why Mrs.Pac-man started flirting with the ghosts

And also we know where Jr. came from

This picture reminds me of the picture of the penis on the Little Mermaid cover.

Now I miss the cartoon, where the Pac-Family fought the ghosts and Darth Malak.

Well he just has a long nose really.... His name shouldn't be a suprise. Afterall, in Japan Mario is Jump Man and Mega Man is Rock Man. It's kinda funny though. And that bottom pic is.... ewww....

Puck is packin', man!

The funniest thing to me about Pac Man/ Puck Man is how he was created:

Puckman was conceived at lunchtime... literally. So the story goes, the designer Toru Iwatani, who was 26 at the time, was very hungry and ordered a whole pizza for himself. He took one slice and Puckman was born.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-04-2006, 09:22 PM

Iwatani himself said that story isn't true, but he claims he won't reveal the real way Pac was created because the story has passed into legend. Don't remember where I heard that.

*XERO* · 07-05-2006, 03:02 AM

...

He was high and saw yellow dots.

End of story.

It's clearly a statement about the 70's disco scene. Bunch of colorful people in a dark room eating dots and super pellets to make them feel powerful running around in circles.
