Description: There isn't much to say about these guys other than the fact that they are absolutely relentless in their pursuit of Pacman or Ms. Pacman depending on which game you are playing. There are four ghosts and each has their own independent strategy, but they all  can work together well in certain contexts. Blinky the red ghost is the most dangerous of the bunch and is more relentless than his compatriots, he seems to almost always stay right behind you, sometimes accompanied by Pinky. Pinky and Inky will try to cut you off as Blinky is chasing you. Inky the blue ghost will for some reason avoid you, but will attack you when you least expect it, so you can consider him the guerilla of the four, but this is just from my experience. Clyde the orange/yellow ghost (depending on which game you play) appears to almost act erratically, sometimes performing rather random tactics. The only way to get rid of a ghost is to eat a pac pellet, those bigger than usual dots that you eat to turn them blue. In this state you should chase the ones closest to you and eat them to get rid of them, however this is only a setback. When I made it to level 20+, I found that in some levels the ghosts were immune completely to the pellets effects so that means you are stuck with those ghosts on your tail, and there is a high possibility that you will lose at least one life on these levels. In Pacman Arrangement, the ghosts became even more dangerous, gaining superpowers. Blinky would turn into some kind of minotaur ghost which would allow him to charge down entire hallways. Pinky would turn into a bunny ghost.... and could jump from place to place.... Inky can create a mirror image of himself which will reflect his movement on the opposite side of the map, which effectively creates a sixth ghost (we'll get to that). Clyde then becomes obese and will cough up more dots that you have to eat, but they are worth 20 points. There is a fifth ghost in this game, named Kinky, who is an orange ghost with glasses and is always vulnerable to being eaten unless you died once on the level. Kinky though has a special power and weakness, since Kinky can always be eaten (except after you die once) he can act like a pac pellet, his special power though gives his comrades their superpowers, so it is probably best to eat him right away. The Pac-man ghosts are some of the most classic villains in video game history and there is hardly a person around who hasn't at least seen them once.
