Secrets behind Pac-Man revealed. Nothing will be the same!!!

[TomoAlien]

I knew that all the ghosts have different behaviors, but that this game was supposed to attract girls i would never figure this out.

Huh. Interesting read. I knew why the change from Puck MAn to Pac Man happened, but the rest of it was really a mystery. Thanks! Will think about this next time i'm nomming on power pellets.

[QUOTE=Lance99;28473633]So in theory you could run as far as possible from the red one and be safe just for a while? Interesting.[/QUOTE]

Not really, seeing as the objective of the game is to cover every possible place on the screen.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;28473997]Billy Mitchell revealed all this in the 80s. None of it is news.[/QUOTE]

No, Billy is the guy with the world record. (All the bonuses and no lives lost) and found the "split screen" bug.

I knew they weren't all programmed to automatically find you, and the way that they are programmed gives the impression that they know what they are doing, without the need for any form of AI. Cool I'd say.

Unless Clyde's RNG finds you

[greasyjamici]

Clyde is the forever alone ghost.

But yeah this was a good read. I rarely play pac-man since I don't go to arcades and don't have them in my town.

Except for, you know, everything not relating to Pac-man.

Yeah, was "hm, cool" when first read about this, but that was ages ago.
