Plural of Pacman

[Token420]

Oddly enough it is Packmen.

To be grammatically and politically correct, I say PacMans. Since PacMan is his name, you wouldnt modify the -man to be -men. PacMan is his name, not PacMen. And most certainly not PacMens.

Wow, this thread is full of packing and men. Ohh, Phet?

I always laughed when I saw that...

.....PacMan is his name....

I don't know about that, no where that I have seen in the game or documentation is the character named. Except in the internal sheet which refers to Packman.

You could argue this if you're talking about the game pacman, or the noun/person Pacman.

 

[descrentl]

Pac-Man follows the adventures of the title character, Pac-Man, his wife Mrs. Pepper Pac-Man, and their child Pac-Baby. They also had two pets, Chomp-Chomp the Dog and Sour Puss the Cat. The family lives in Pac-Land, a place in which the geography and architecture seem to revolve primarily around spheres and sphere-like shapes.

Most episodes of the series center around the ongoing battle between the Pac family and their only known enemies, the Ghost Monsters: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde, and Sue. They work for Mezmeron, (a mysterious figure who resembles Darth Vader and acts similarly to Gargamel), whose sole mission is to locate and control the source of "Power Pellets", which serve as the primary food and power source for the city, and also as the deus ex machina in virtually every episode

It says his name is Pac-Man

He also had arms, feet and in a hat in the cartoon. How credible is that as a basis for game history?

Well, he does have feet on the cab artwork And if you look at the original Puckman artwork, he also has arms (no hat though)

Something was lost in translation there Just like the DK instructions. Designers English not too so good....

 

[Riptor]

The pacman manual has all sorts of misprints and poor translations in it. There are several chips that are listed wrong on the parts list. They are correct in the schematics but not in the list.
Also, some pcbs had a sticker on them that said packman pcb.
