Interesting Facts: Pac-Man


Despite what some might think, Pac-Man does have an end game cinematic. All one must do is clear the 257th maze. Upon winning one will find a surprisingly detailed cinematic, explaining Pac-Man’s back-story, and chronicling his attempt to re-enter society after bingeing on so many power pellets. The fact that only four people in history have actually seen this cinematic has not dissuaded the makers of the game to put it into every version of the game that has ever been produced.

With the cut scenes in place, the story becomes a symbolic retelling of Satan tempting Christ. Inky is Satan, Blinky is Beelzebub, Pinky is Leviathan and Clyde is (as always) Clyde. The power pellets are actually communion wafers, and they reflect the real life aspect that anyone who eats one can then devour a ghost, but that power only lasts for 30 seconds.
