Hi Nicol. Well I still occasionally play packman with my limited vision, although it's not the easiest game to play with low visual field. the first answer is yes, Phil included the ghosts in packman talks precisely because they're in mainstream packman. The second answer is a little harder

Not sure what they look like in Phil's Pacman. but, from playing the real arcade video game of Pacman. the player was a smiley face that is suppose to eat all the dots before you get ate. the ghosts looked like ghosts. The kind that look like a sheet with holes cut for eyes and mouth. At 09:52

Hi Nicol, Yes, the original version of Pac-Man had ghosts. Pinky was pink, I believe clide was red, and I believe inky was blue. They all looked like a typical ghost accept they were different colors. Cheers! On 7/8/14, Nicol nicoljaco...@telkomsa.net wrote: Hi all Those of you who played

Hi Dark, Actually, I disagree with your point of view here somewhat. When I had sight Inky, Pinky, and Clide were easily identifiable as ghosts. As someone else pointed out here basically they looked like sheets with the eyes and mouth cut out. The classic kids ghost Halloween costume. The only

Hi Tom. As I said, lack of eyeballs is probably explanation for this one, especially when dealing with lots of 80's graphics. I can see the shape, and if I am either playing on a large tv or looking very closely the eyes, but I never clicked these looked like ghosts, or at least they don't to

Hi Dark, That's quite understandable. The graphics in such games were not all that clear to begin with, and the contrast really wasn't that good when dealing with 16 color graphics. Although, I could tell the ghosts were ghosts by their general shape they still were not to distinct. They didn't

Hi Charles, As someone who has played Pac-Man as well as other games of the same time period on a big screen TV its not so much a case of the graphics being fuzzy as they were just not that detailed to begin with. On a big screen TV they were blown up, looked larger, but it didn't add any detail
