“Welcome to The Pac-Man Dossier! This web page is dedicated to providing Pac-Man players of all skill levels with the most complete and detailed study of the game possible. New discoveries found during the research for this page in December 2008 have allowed for the clearest view yet of the actual ghost behavior and pathfinding logic used by the game. Laid out in hyperlinked chapters and sections, the dossier is easy to navigate using the Table of Contents below, or you can read it in linear fashion from top-to-bottom. Chapter 1: the backstory of Namco and Pac-Man's designer, Toru Iwatani, chronicling the development cycle and release of the arcade classic. Chapter 2: technical portions. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4: pathfinding logic and discussions of unique ghost behavior. Chapter 5: “split screen” level. Appendices: reference tables, an easter egg, vintage guides, a glossary, and more.” - × × ×
