Last week, Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani called it a day and has semi-retired off to a university teaching position. So, Toru Iwatani must be amazingly good at the game he created. Nope! He says:

I did come up with Pac-Man, but truthfully my reflexes are not what they used to be, and with my concentration capabilities diminishing I don't think I can take on any contenders. My role on the Pac-Man experience, rather than excel at it, has been to come up with the structure which will provide thousands with enjoyment. At least, I have this excuse for not being good at playing it!
