pacman name and game description
All right, now.  I was pretty sure of this before, but this information
on the game has convinced me that pacman is, in fact, about eating things,
not picking up gold in a dungeon.  In fact, the conventional wisdom has
it that this is why it is so popular with women.  So why has the person
who wrote the intro to the pacman program decided that we're picking up
gold in a dungeon?  That sounds like rogue, not pacman.  And although
this might flatter me a little, I'd prefer the intro to be correct.  Can
anyone shed light on why this happened?  And, more importantly, shouldn't
it be changed?
