Pac-Man is not a game - it's a way of life as the earlier picture illustrates. (Not pictured: The ghosts-guys reach the pac-man and beat him to death with sticks).

Can we take a moment to talk about the Pacperson economy? I think it's deeply flawed because it clearly favors players that move around the maze vigorously chomping away at food pellets and nimbly avoiding ghosts. This leaves the rest of us behind! Those of us who enjoy sitting in the corner doing nothing end up with no points at all and eventually a ghost gets us.
I propose that Namco redesigns the economy so that it feeds a steady stream of food pellets, cherries, and other power-ups directly to us. This benefits everybody because we will be CONSUMING more food pellets. Come on folks, there is no reason why our high scores should have anything to do with our actions! REFORM PACPERSON NOW! _____________________

I'm just trying to figure out why I don't care one bit about this very, very serious issue. Maybe it's something I ate. Those cherries sure were sweet though.

That's just giving in to the obviously corrupt Williams-based way of doing business. A Joust-based economy would require the killing of innocent generic-jousters and obnoxious pterodactyls, whereas a Pac-Man based economy allows the consumption of pellets (ie - stale marshmallows). A Pac-man based economy has the benefit of not requiring the killing of ghosts. You can fill up on marshmallows all you want.

Pac man is clearly a platform to foster communication and socialization, and eventually when the Wolverine Engine is up and running people will be able to use the native Ms. PAc script to create 2-d objects in world. And then Pac-Man will be the metaverse, all commerece and online interaction will take place in pac man, and noone will use the web.
How dare anyone demean pac-man by calling it a game. _____________________

Damn thats insensitve of me. Pac-Person is a platform then, not a game. Unlike Super-Mario Family, which is entirely a game.
