There is both, Pacman and Pacwomen, The difference is that the women has red lips and a bow in her hair... I think they just made it for either equality or so that females realted to the women version and played it... Either way there are both sexes of Pac-people.... Even though it's exactly the same game!!

I think Pacwoman is in dieting so not to eat anything. take care of herself more. so Pacman is there, with whom we are playing a lot, which bring smile.

It's Ms. Pac-Man. There's also Pac-in-laws, Pac-Aunts and Pac-Uncles, Grandpa Pacs and Grandma Pacs. Oh, and don't forget about Pregnant-Pac.

Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the U.S. by Midway, first released in Japan on May 22, 1980. Immensely popular in the United States from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is universally considered as one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture. Upon its release, the game became a social phenomenon that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and music. HOW TO PLAY THE GAME: The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating pac-dots. When all dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage. Four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) roam the maze, trying to catch Pac-Man. If a ghost touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. Pac-Man is awarded a single bonus life at 10,000 points by default—DIP switches inside the machine can change the required points or disable the bonus life altogether. Near the corners of the maze are four larger, flashing dots known as power pellets that provide Pac-Man with the temporary ability to eat the ghosts. The ghosts turn deep blue, reverse direction, and usually move more slowly when Pac-Man eats a power pellet. When a ghost is eaten, its eyes return to the ghost home where it is regenerated in its normal color. Blue ghosts flash white before they become dangerous again and the amount of time the ghosts remain vulnerable varies from one board to the next, but the time period generally becomes shorter as the game progresses. In later stages, the ghosts do not change colors at all, but still reverse direction when a power pellet is eaten. In addition to Pac-dots and power pellets, bonus items, usually referred to as fruits (though not all items are fruits) appear near the center of the maze. These items score extra bonus points when eaten. The items change and bonus values increase throughout the game. Also, a series of intermissions play after certain levels toward the beginning of the game, showing a humorous set of interactions between Pac-Man and Blinky (the red ghost).

I think it's not Pacwoman because in the 70's there wasn't so much pressure to be sexually equal, and I think Pacman rolls of the tongue easier. It used to be called Pucman, but they changed it after vandals kept changing the 'P' to an 'F'! Hehe, true story =]
