Pac-Man's 'father' not happy with nonstop use By LOUIS TOSCANO United Press International ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Masaya Nakamura, the father of the popular Pacman video arcade game, is thrilled about the global success of his creation, but he isn't crazy about the way some people spend hours playing it. "I am a little concerned about the way some young people play it so much," Nakamura said. "It's not a very happy thing to see people spending so much time on it. Once it goes beyond a certain level, it is not good for Not young that people." Nakamura doesn't enjoy Pacman.
