It would be consistent with similar words like "Walkmen", but I checked
OED and it unusually has nothing to say on the matter. However, it
gives Pac-Man as the primary form, and the following as alternative
spellings: "Packman, Pac Man, pac man, Pac-Man, Pac-man, PacMan, Pacman,
pacman, Puckman, puckman, Puc-Man".
