There is a fantastic page on the web covering the original Pac-Man. Jamie Pittman created a Pac-Man Dossier that covers everything you need to know about the Pac-Man arcade game. He has broken down the original program code, and provides a ton of facts such as how the Ghosts determine which way to move around the maze. The Dossier does not provide Pac-Man patterns, since there are already plenty of them on the Internet. What it does provide is crucial information that can be used to make you a better Pac-Man player.

Haha! Great link, I had actually always wondered about some of this stuff. I am one of those people who feel like when the Ghosts change directions to come get me it’s a “personal” thing. At least now I feel less vindictive after reading Jamey’s article.
Great site Jeff, keep up the good work!
