Yes, he was not the creator of Pac-Man. Although I did see some references online to him as being the father of Pac-Man, I think it was. In any case, I am thankful for him. I love Pac-Man. :)

Yes, it's right ! Creator, father : the two terms are not far one from the other :)
About Pac Man, I was not a real great fan but that is a good game indeed :)
