José Pereira Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Sadly noticed only now here on web news page but it seems it was on 22th. A little wiki of him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaya_Nakamura_(Namco) R.i.p. Edited January 30, 2017 by José Pereira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited January 30, 2017 by MrFish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
