Puckman
(a.k.a.) Pac-man
Arcade release
Developer: Namco
US publisher: Midway

Created by Tohru Iwatani, this was the game which, to coin a phrase, started it all. The hero was named "Puckman" evidently due to his shape. Before its release in the United States, the title was changed to "Pac-man" because "Puckman" was an easy target for vandals to convert into a vulgarity. It introduced the yellow hero along with the four monsters
The monsters' original movements were pre-defined at first. People racked up ridiculous scores when their movements were memorized, so a later version of the game gave the monsters more random movement, each with their own personalities.
The Red monster is Oikake, "Chaser." This is the monster players will most often find on their tail throughout the game. Nicknamed Akabei, "aka" being Japanese for "red." Also known as Shadow or Inky in the US.
The Blue monster is Machibuse, "Ambusher." His strategy is to head toward the opposite end of whatever tunnel Pac is going through. Nicknamed Aosuke, "ao" being Japanese for "blue." Also known as Bashful or Blinky in the US.
The Pink monster is Kimagure, "Whimsy." His US name is Speedy, though he's not the fastest monster (Akabei is). He just goes in the general direction Pac is located. Nicknamed "Pinky" in both Japan and the US.
The Orange monster is Otoboke, "Plays dumb." He goes in random directions that tend to gravitate toward Pac. Nicknamed Guzuta, "gu" being Japanese for "stupid." Also known as Pokey or Clyde in the US.
Obviously, the Orange monster was originally meant to be the dumbest of the four, and the Red one was the smartest. The Hanna Barbera producers obviously didn't notice this, making Clyde the LEADER of the four in their cartoon.
The original design for Pac-man outside the game is pretty much the same as it is now, except he had a really large Pinnochio-like nose. This was the Japanese design, of course. The US design was COMPLETELY puzzling. I'm not sure how the artists at Midway managed to picture Pac as a little yellow guy with two big feet and a deranged grin on his face.

Sing it for me
I can't erase the stupid things I say
You're better than me
I struggle just to find a better way

So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
The one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye

You wouldn't like me
Keep moving on until forever ends
Don’t try to fight me
The beauty queen has lost her crown again

So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
The one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
Goodbye

So why are you so eager to betray
Pick the pieces up, Pick the pieces up

So why are you the one who walks away
Pick the pieces up, Pick the pieces up
Pick the pieces up

So here we are
Fighting and trying to hide the scars
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road
one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight
Take a breath and softly say goodbye

Just take a breath and softly say goodbye

Breaking Benjamin

Ha..Cindy's slow on the uptake Libby. lol
Miss_DJ (edited Nov 20, 2006)
this is so right on the money. nice puzzle, how many pieces do you have to complete the puzzle. That's the key. If you have the upper piece and the heart piece....it all comes together. If you only have the heart piece left...you're screwed...been there..done that.

congrats on placing 2nd. This is very creative DBA!

So...When you are on you are on your way to see some friends that are a few hundred miles away, and your boyfriend has to stop every half an hour to call his "boss", he just might be cheating. Especially if he tells boss man he loves em'!

Well, I thought I was going to do something else with this picture, but I can't decide what else to do. I guess I better submit it as "finished" before the contest is over :).
JK-Arts (Nov 18, 2006)
I like perspective on that.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Nov 19, 2006)
I think you made a great choice when you got rid of this loser and hooked up with Ben, and this is by far the best entry in this contest....that little face peeking out of the window totally cracks me up. :)
~~PuFFeR~~ (Nov 20, 2006)
Thanks, DBA. I guess I will just enter the next contest... I have a great idea...as long as nobody else takes it first!

Love... And there was something about the way she smiled and laughed that had a lasting impression upon me. I was no longer dreaming about what might happen that night under the moon, I was now captured by the moment. Her laughter touched my soul, and I felt the need to keep her laughing, to keep that smile on her beautiful face. There were no butterflies in my stomach, instead I found myself swelling with a deep and profound joy... Crud... I think I'm falling in love.
