The 1up crew took a field trip to Namco Bandai or Bandai Namco's new offices in Japan, and discovered that they had a whole arcade in the lobby with a ton of retro games spanning the company's history.
One of them was an original Puck-Man machine, before the name change necessitated by the game's incipient American release and the easy, enticing possibility of vandalism. Actually, seeing it written out like that, I actually kind of do want to sharpie in an "F."
So it's probably for the best that I wasn't there, and that Jeremy Parish took the pic. But then he says, "I didn't realize any units had been manufactured under the original [n]ame, but clearly so." Wait -- when we were at Super Potato, didn't I pick up a Puck-Man home machine and show it to him? Hmm.
