Read more about Ghosts (Pac-Man) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Namco The Ghosts are the recurring antagonists in the Pac-Man franchise. The enemies in Pac-Man are known variously as "ghost," "goblin," and "monster". Despite the seemingly random nature of the enemies, their movements are strictly deterministic, which players have used to their advantage. In an interview, creator Toru Iwatani stated that he had designed each enemy with its own distinct personality in order to keep the game from becoming impossibly difficult or boring to play. More recently, Iwatani described the enemy behaviors in more detail at the 2011 Game Developers Conference. He stated that the red enemy chases Pac-Man, and the pink and blue enemies try to position themselves in front of Pac-Man's mouth. Although he claimed that the orange enemy's behavior is random, a careful analysis of the game's code reveals that it actually chases Pac-Man most of the time, but also moves toward the lower-left corner of the maze when it gets too close to Pac-Man. In the Pac-Man cartoon, wearing hats and partnered with Sue, the Ghost Monsters work for Mezmeron who assigns them the job of finding the Power Pellet Forest. The male members all wear hats. The episodes "Chomp-Out at the O.K. Corral" and "The Greatest Show in Pacland" featured the Ghost Monsters' 3-year-old cousin named Dinky who was bratty & all the male ghosts can't stand him.
Ghosts (Pac-Man) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
