[ Ссылка ] - Puckman was the original name for Pac-Man during it's Japanese origins in 1980. While it was quickly changed to Pac-Man to avoid what vandals could do to the word "puck" or what consumers might think the game was called with a quick glance of the logo, some product under the Puckman name was released.

This handheld by Tomy was one of them. Here is the original Japanese television commercial. This handheld was later released stateside under the Pac-Man name.

Note: It's Puckman then Pac-Man. The dash in the middle of the Pac-Man name takes the place of the "k" in Puckman to keep the spacing in the logo the same. It is not "Puck-Man" as is commonly misspelled. Note this in the logo in the commercial.
