CrazyKongFan:
The part in the article about the ghosts targets isn't right though...Clyde isn't random. If Pac-Man is more than 8 tiles away, his target is the same as Blinky, which is Pac-Man. If he's closer than 8 tiles, his target becomes the bottom left corner.

Sarak000:
Very interesting read.  Some things in there I never knew.  Thanks for posting.

"I thought about something that may attract girls," says Iwatani. "Maybe boy stories or something to do with fashion. However, girls love to eat desserts. My wife often does! So the verb ‘eat' gave me a hint to create this game."

Not very PC.

And this is downright weird:

"I wanted to have a shelter and it would move up and down," he says. "When the ghost comes, the ghost would be pinched by the shelter which would disfigure the ghost."

Missing piece of the puzzle...of his mind maybe?

Besides, it's true.  Have you never seen The Golden Girls?
