For the North American market, the name was changed from Puck Man to Pac-Man, as it was thought that vandals would be likely to change the P in "puck" to an F, forming a common expletive.[31] Puck Man machines can be found throughout Europe.
When Midway released Pac-Man in the United States, the company also redesigned the cabinet's artwork, as the Namco-style artwork was more costly to mass-produce. Puck Man was painted overall white featuring multicolored artwork on both sides with cheerful Pac-Man characters in different poses while Pac-Man was painted yellow, with simple artwork on both sides front and back.

Why was pacman's name changed from Puckman to pacman?
It was changed because Pacman held a heavy pack of little dots and fruit. even though Pacman looks like a puck, they still changed it! Really good question (: logical reason: They changed this because some people worry the first letter P may be rubbed off to a F. Which would be offensive to some people. Source:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-20005577-52.html ------------------------------------------------ Some rumored that it had to do with "pacu" being the Japanese word for munch. There's no C in the Japanese alphabet, the Japanese word for munch is Kamu not Paku, & the name is inspired by Pacu, the fish notorious for attacking testicles (balls).
