He died at the age of 91 years the father of one of the most iconic arcade games in the world, Pac-Man, Mr. Masaya Nakamura.
Masaya Nakamura (Masaya Nakamura) started her commercial activity by building two mechanical amusement park horses on the top floor of a department store, but managed to become a pioneer in arcade games. In the 70's he bought Atari and renamed the company Nakamura Amusement Machine Manufacturing Company or NAMCO for short.
The company created it Pac-Man in 1980, which won a Guinness Book of World Records award as the most successful coin-operated arcade game. And certainly the generation of the 80s remembers very well the coins that have been spoiled on the machine to the ufadikas. Namco's profitable history includes the arcade games Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug and Pole Position.
Although the game was developed by a young Namco employee named Toru Iwatani, the title "Pac-Man father" was given to Nakamura because he was the founder of the company. Legend has it that Iwatani decided to base his game on meal – and Pac-Man being one pizza with a slice missing.
2004 Namco merged with Bandai and Nakamura remained on the board of directors of the company as an honorary adviser until his death at 22 in January.
