Pac Man, Vicious Killer or Game Hero?

Okay, so Pac Man is a foreigner in the maze. Those blotches are only protecting their limited supply of food. Pac Man is stealing it and devouring all of it without any concern for the rest. What's worse is that he then murders the blotches and eats their bodies. He's a sick, twisted motherfucker. Game Protagonist? I think not.

I think the phrase you are looking for is 'raver'.

Running around, eating pills, listening to loud repetitive electronic music.

How can you prove it's not Pac Man's maze, and the ghosts are the invaders?

I was wondering about the men in uniform, and the part about the horses made me wonder if it was about zoophilia.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

He looks so confused and is searching for a way out. The blotches are happy and know the territory. They even defend the fruit, their fruit.

Their fruit? Or the fruit they stole from Pac Man that he is trying to recover?

He's an addict, the ghosts were actually police trying to stop his drug induced rampage.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
A back alley wall, as in the Red Light District
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Fall in this sense has sexual implications. He 'fell' on someone.
All the kings horses
Obvious beastiality.
And all the kings men
Gay sexual masters
Couldn't put Humpty together again[/I]
A large orgy took place in which Humpty was violently engaged.

You have no proof that they stole it. We see Pac Man dazed and confused, stealing the fruit and making his escape.

How? It's clearly the ghosts who are helpless immigrants. Pac-Man is the superduperpatriotwanker who eats them, just because he can.

Pac Man is a hero!

He is the heroic socialist, fighting for his fair share of the pills that the bourgeois ghosts are hoarding for themselves! They don't even use them, they're just hoarding them for the sake of hoarding! Capitalist pig-ghosts, that they are.

When our hero eats one of those big pills... The Revolution begins, comrades!

Pacman is a tuberculosis bacterium.

The field is inside the human body. The little yellow dots represent cells that the bacterium "eats".

The Ghosts represent the body's natural defenses; specifically lymphocytes. You'll notice they have a more humanish appearence than Pacman.

The larger pills, you'll notice, dye them blue, while Pacman stays the same colour; retaining colour in a gram test while other cells turn blue is one of the properties of the M. Tuberculosis. The use of Ghosts is a sort of irony, given that the Tuberculosis bacterium is itself considered a Ghost Cell.

You'll also notice that after contact with the ghosts, Pacman dies by his own construction and eventually disappearing with a sort of pop. This is similar to the effect that a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte would have by passing a trans-membrane protein to it, causing the target cell to move into an apoptosis process.

The Tuberculosis bacterium is also resistant to disinfectants that weaken normal cells. An introduction of these into the body would give the bacterium the advantage and allow him to consume weakened white cells. Hence, the power pellet. If the lymphocyte was weakened, it wouldn't be able to force the active uptake of the protein, thus leaving it an open target for the bacterium.

And finally, Tuberculosis would have been a well-known condition in Japan around the 1980's. Two cultural celebrities in particular - Okita Soji, a member of the often-mentioned Shinsengumi of the Meiji revolution, and Masaoka Shiki, the poet who revived haikuism - both are known for having suffered and died from the disease at the time between 19th and 20th centuries. The disease is surpassed in terms of infection rates in Asia only by the Third World, and has been since at least the 1800s.

There ya go. Pacman's sinister side.

Heh, I just read all of this and now there is a banner ad for Pac-Man World 3's Joltco review at the top of my screen.

Anyway, Mario is a drug junkie. He jumps about fifty feet in the air screaming "WHEEWHOO!!!" The bullets have smiley faces. The mushrooms give you superpowers. Itallian plumber? No, Italian drug-mafia!

Pac Man, like all early eighties video game entities, is a Tragic Greek Figure.

He's cursed to run around that maze eating the pellets chased by the four ghosts of the sins of his life and when he finishes-he has to do it all over again, forever, without end until the ghosts eventually devour him.

Just as Q*Bert is doomed to hop up and down that pyramid over and over again for all eternity, and no matter how many people Defender rescues he will eventually die and the aliens will take over.

What the greeks considered an eternity of torment is what we as kids forked over quarter after quarter for.
