Hi haiden.
Yes, in the original packman you can see all the maze and get an overview of
what the ghosts are doing.
This turns it much more into a game of reflex and avoidance, eg trying to
stay away from the areas where ghosts are, or nipping in quickly to get dots
from another direction.
Ah yes tom, sorry, i really should've remembered as much ;D.
then again, sinse I bought the game virtually the instant it became
available after alpha and beta testing, I actually have never played the
actual demo through.

Right. Classic Packman and Packman Talks are different from a strategy
