Oh, my. :(

Sorry to hear about his death, but I wouldn't call him the "Creator" of Pac-Man. That honor goes to Toru Iwatani.

I think they call Masaya Nakamura, more aptly, the "Father" of Pac-Man, since he founded Namco.

Very sad news. Thank you Masaya Nakamura for all you've done. May you rest in peace.

Yeah, I don't know why they called him "Father of Pac-Man" since that implies it's Iwantani instead of Nakamura. MSM I guess...

 

But it's still sad since Namco games were a major part of my gaming life, especially the ones from both the early arcade age to the Playstation era.

Thank you, Mr. Nakamura, for all that you did.
