Last word??
In an article in the Business & Finance section on counterfeited
video games, The Washington Post reports:
"Pac-Man was invented by Namco Ltd., a Japanese company that sold
U.S. rights to Midway to manufacture arcade games and to Atari
Inc. for the home version."
there was no reference to the derivation of Pac-Man (sic); howev-
er, the previous references in this newsgroup to a possible
Japanese derivation from "paku-paku" might be supported by the
Post's report of Japanese invention.
