Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

PAC MAN would play the greedy capitalist; raiding the maze of the ghosts of the lumpen proletariat -- stealing their dots, "power pellets", and food -- in order to boost his own status.
The ghosts of the lumpen proletariat, enraged, will rise from their graves to kill PAC MAN.
Now, as with Capitalism, PAC MAN is a powerful beast which can outrun the ghosts of the lumpen proletariat, seemingly endlessly stealing all of their resources and devouring them over and over again with his "patterns."
HOWEVER, as we all know, eventually, PAC MAN is going to die; and there are no continues.
This GAME OVER for PAC MAN signifies the inevtiable end of Laize-Faire / Imperialist Capitalism, and the rise of the workers who overthrow their greedy capitalist overlords and establish a workers paradise...

Patrick Frater wrote:Masaya Nakamura, the arcade entertainment pioneer who pioneered smash hit video game “Pac-Man” has died, age 91. He founded the giant gaming company Namco and for 10 years Namco was also owner of the Nikkatsu film company.
Nakamura’s death was recorded as having taken place more than a week ago, on Jan. 22, 2017. But it was only announced, by Namco today on its Japanese-language website.
Having attended technical university in Yokohama, Nakamura reportedly founded Namco in 1955 as a company operating mechanical horses on the roof of a department store. After Namco was merged with another Japanese games firm Bandai to form Namco-Bandai (later Bandai Namco) in 2005, Nakamura retained an honorary position. He was also awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, by the Japanese government for his services to industry.
Pac-Man, conceived to look like a pizza with a slice taken out of it, was invented by Toru Iwatani and went on sale as a coin-operated game in 1980. It expanded onto consoles before spawning massive merchandise sales, TV series, theme parks and a film.
Namco bought Nikkatsu in 1993. Japan’s oldest film studio was once famous for its pink-eiga, the free-ranging soft porn genre that gave many contemporary Japanese film makers their career start. Nakamura is credited as executive producer on several of its titles (“Warm Water Under a Red Bridge,” “A Stranger of Mine”.) Hewas also executive producer on Crystal Sky’s 2010 game adaptation “Tekken”.
