Actually the ghosts' AI works by a target tile they need to reach. They also operate in phases: scatter, chase, scared and eaten. Scatter mode is normally called corner mode because all of the ghosts' target points are positioned at the corners, just outside of the maze, and because they can't turn around, this forces them to orbit the corners trying to reach the target. Then once the interval assigned by which level the player is on ends, they will immediately turn 180 degrees and their targets are positioned strategically around pac man. This normally causes them to form a single file line chasing pac man. If a power pellet is eaten, all ghosts turn blue, turn 180 degrees again, and enter scared phase. In scared phase, their movements are chosen by a random number generator. Once eaten, they turn into a blank set of eyes, speed up significantly, and their target is set inside of the ghost house. Once they enter, they turn back into whatever color they are, then begin all over again starting in whatever phase it would've been if pacman hadn't eaten a power pellet.
@@aperson4097 Probably as a randomness factor. Since the other ghosts have specific AI, they can be manipulated by the player's choices. Clyde can't, so you have to hope he isn't wandering someplace you need to go. That would be my guess, but it seems inconsistent with what others have said here.

Note: This is basically confirmed to still be part of the TMCU (Terminal Montage Cinematic Universe) As super sonic/The speed demon can be seen at the end of the post-credits scene.
A while ago, I made a joke about Mrs. Pacman being an acronym, that being "M.R.S.P.A.C - Military Recon & Specialist for Photon Aerospace Control", but it was made back when the title was different, and nobody reads the description anymore, so now I'm sad that the joke is harder to understand.
If you don’t get the joke, in this video the male character is a “Photon Aerospace Control” engineer, while the female character is a “Military Recon Specialist for Photon Aerospace Control”
I mean, I wouldn't call Secret Level Pac-Man a sidekick, he's very clearly the mastermind behind the whole cycle in an attempt to escape. (Technically, also Pac-Man is the black blob thing at the end which is a combo of *Puck* and the Swords*man*).
I never imagined how much it fits well to have Pac-Man being some kind of explorer and the ghosts be cosmic horrors, would love to have a sort of tech-demo of that, maybe even a full game with that sort of concept behind it. Great music as well.
Here some ideas to make it more unique: -The player having a Hud that maps your location and a gun that slows down big monsters and kills smaller monsters - Adding monsters that changes up the gameplay like a creature that hides under the ceiling to ambushes you, forcing you to go around it and smaller monsters meant to slow you down or alarm the bigger monsters to your location -The power up making the big monsters being able to be killed by your gun or a bigger gun with limited ammo -Each level have there own unique layout and slowly introducing new gimmicks such as pits
I like that everyone is ignoring the fact that Terminal basically just decided that Galaga is the sequel to PAC Man, changing everything we think we know about classic arcade games
The coolest part of the video was the reveal of it being PAC-Man. Now new viewers are gonna know from the start. Oh well Probably for the best anyway since TM will get more views because people can see it’s a familiar game
I was like “Oh what’s this new game I never heard of” to “Oh dead space? This is different from what I remember” to “AH $&$@ HERES COMES PAC MAN”. Honestly great work! One of the most creative ideas I’ve seen!
I still remember watching this when this premiered and the fact that it was a pac man animation wasn't revealed until the title card in the video dropped, and then the rest was and still is absolutely fantastic. Still probably one of my favorite something abouts
@@jessegitchell8114I wish he did too. I feel like it makes the surprise even more surprising. I mean at least now I know it changes every Halloween.
This is definitely one of, if not the most underrated animation on TerminalMontage's channel. For primarily being a comedy animator, this take on a serious video is phenomenal. And no stock explosion in sight! That must have taken some serious restraint
Same. But i think it would be better if issac had a vareity of weapons like the pulse rifle, and line gun because they already have pac women with the contact beam. but overall very good animating.
"Wait, It's all Pac-Man?..." "Uuuh yeah!... You're a gamer, Gary! How did you not know this?! Y-Y-You've been playing video games for 20 years you fu-!!!"
If TerminalMontage can do THIS with Pacman, I can't wait to see what that original looking series he has planned is gonna be like. It will be of EPIC PROPORTIONS!
Geno was in the teaser and I think it may have to do with the old video about Luigi taking over the world with a Mario RPG move and there is a secret bit there where geno came. I think geno was examining the area
I'm impressed because usually when animators deviate from their traditional video formats, it's appealing to a lot less of their audience than their usual productions. This was a very exciting flavor alternative from a crew who doesn't seem to dabble much in this.
(Astronauts) “We wouldn’t have to run away from vent crawling demons that sabotage our reactor and stab us in front of our children to make us view them murder our friends as they accuse each other and get ejected into space”
This was quite an experience. The musical buildup compliments the plot of the story, giving a foreboding, mysterious feeling. The monsters gave an excellent display of raw, pure terror with their appearance being very contrasting to the goofy little arcade game we all know and love. 10/10. A masterpiece in theatrical and artistic fields. Keep up the good work TM.
As much as I love your super hyper nonsense screamy explosion animations, I'm an even bigger sucker for this kind. I feel like you flex the hardest on these.
The production quality of this was amazing. The Pacman "reveal" as his silhouette lights up after picking up the power pill, and the music that just PUMPS up the mood. Just works perfectly

Curiously enough, one of the designers of Pac-Man is called "Shigeichi Ishimura", in Dead Space, the ship that Isaac is stuck in is also called the USG Ishimura.
I don’t know why, but “closing the door in the face of a horrific charging monster only to watch it pry it open like a tin can” is one of my favorite tropes.
This is by far one of the coolest parodies so far. I’m absolutely speechless how you made a game like pac-man have so much more depth and intrigue than I would have thought possible. You never cease to amaze us. (Can’t wait for the new original work too!)
He got the power pellet and turned the ghosts blue, but that didn't make him able to kill them. That bothered me. It's those kinds of inaccuracies that ruin an otherwise great animation.
At first I though “I don’t remember seeing any game named like that... meh. Might be some game I never heard of” and then it hit. The big reveal. I did NOT expect that by even the smallest chance. Anyways impressive job as always terminal!

3:01, wait, I just realized I can't remember Terminal Montage animating an actual explosion, TerminalMontage actually animated an explosion! It wasn't just some cheap funny gif!!!
Pacman: 70% of a yellow circle running collecting cheese balls while 4 monochrome blankets chase him. *What Terminal Montage sees: An astronaut trying to escape from his ship that is being haunted by some kind of paranormal entity that has* *already killed all other crewmates and has caused a power outage. As the blue emergency lights turn on, our protagonist tries to maneuver* *trough the maze like structure, avoiding contact with the creatures while at the same time trying to collect ammunition for his gun, the only tool* *he has to protect himself.* You are as insane as you are creative and you truly outdid yourself with this one. Also I appreciate the subtle hint in the title, as Photon Aerospace Control can be shortened to P.A.C, very clever.
I was super confused as to what game “Photon Aerospace Control Engineer” was referring to and when the text P a c m a n showed up and I started to laugh hysterically.
It's nice to see that Terminal Montage can do a variety of art styles that still fit in his own overarching style. Like that more detailed woman at 00:35 for the "Science" propaganda being more of a detailed person compared to his generally more rounded and minimalist style in drawing characters, or how he can make the Pac-Man Ghosts into fluid abominations. Absolutely pleasing to watch.
Yup! People often overlook the fact that in order to create a lively cartoon character, you first need to be able to draw "normal characters" well. It teaches you the rules of animation and perspective, and from there you can create comics that look deceptively simple.
@Last Task Crewmate Phase 1 I can't believe they turned pac man into a bad pac man, that's why I hate pixel movies, plus they also invited billy mitchell, even though he was cheating on pac man and everyone doesn't know that
easily my favorite terminal montage animation omggg I love how this one is serious for a change (still love the silly ones tho) my dad used to play pacman all the time back in the 80s-90s at arcades and i showed him this animation and he could not get over it

Just noticed, Ms Pacman is left handed based on how she's carrying the gun.
BILLION times more accurate than the Secret Level Pac-Man
X2
I can absolutely agree
Man even the pacman world series is better than that too and I haven't even seen the secret lvl yet 😂
That episode was based of a new pacmAN GAME
@@Zeeatthebackofthetrain yeah it was revealed later than when I commented
This is easily the coolest interpretation of PAC-MAN I’ve ever seen.
This isn’t a hot take at all
PAC-MAN Act Zero, anyone?
Yeah 100%
Agreed by one trillion
And also I love that the suit and the gun are from dead space
3:26 it's mario mario and luigi mario
OH MY GOD I SEE HIM
I see but u need put it 0.25 speed
Nice eye for that!
I saw it too lmao
I only saw luigi mario
All the Dead Space sound effects and references, even the Isaac Clarke "UGH!"
This is still a masterpiece crossover.
A something about dead space would be nice
We miss dead space
@@chrischimera a remake has been revealed let's fucking goooooo
@@NikolaiAvilov4446 yeah but how good can it be? Its being made by behaviour so hopefully there isnt spaghetti code or something
This is what that Secret Level episode SHOULD HAVE BEEN
I don’t know why, but “closing the door in the face of a horrific charging monster only to watch it pry it open like a tin can” is one of my favorite tropes.
S A M E
Same
Same
@J Sang but it did anyway and that’s why it’s awesome
Check out the TF2 animation "Pootis Engage" for another great example
This is the most serious episode in the "Something About" series, I'm not kidding.
why he change video name?
i agree
? ? ? ? ? ? ? And the ending of Yoshi's Story are also pretty serious
Facts
Thast true
My god this is probably the most artistically interesting way to inject a narrative into pac man. Bravo
Yes
There's that creepy monkey pacman game.
1:44 how have I never noticed Jason's mask until now?
a few frames later in the hallway Pac-man runs past, you can see a witherd Bonie on the floor too.
This is by far one of the coolest parodies so far. I’m absolutely speechless how you made a game like pac-man have so much more depth and intrigue than I would have thought possible. You never cease to amaze us. (Can’t wait for the new original work too!)
As a Pac-Man fan, this still holds up as one of my favorite animations.
Ever.
𝕀 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 right (｀・ω・´)
He got the power pellet and turned the ghosts blue, but that didn't make him able to kill them. That bothered me. It's those kinds of inaccuracies that ruin an otherwise great animation.
@@BigFatWedge 1:56 he shoots, and it doesn't do damage. 2:50 he shoots and it leaves holes.
This could be used as a reboot
True that
This really puts a whole new meaning to the "Something About:" series and I love it. To me, this is canon, lol
i hope its canon
@@astick5249 Same
Funny thing dude I met you in tower unite isint that funny?
If this is not canon bandi namco has sold out
Cool
3 years and this silly cartoon is *THE* BEST HORROR PARODY EVER
DUDE THIS IS HIW IT SHOULD BE DONE
They even escaped on the Galaga spaceship, nice touch.
@North-East Yeah DINO PUPPET CRINGE
@@Domart101 i hate emojis
@@imofficiallyinsane2312 why??
Oh you're right!
I'm never putting that cringey comment again
The *_"Something Series"_* really took the concept of an _inside joke_ to the next level... until the _post-credits_ scene happened. *XD*
No it didn't, end credits is still an inside joke
Galaga bruh
Did ya see sonic fly past?
@@aethernaut115 yep
You can also see the ship Luigi built at the top left
At first I though “I don’t remember seeing any game named like that... meh. Might be some game I never heard of” and then it hit. The big reveal. I did NOT expect that by even the smallest chance. Anyways impressive job as always terminal!
Read the first three letters of the so called "game"

Ah yes, PACE.
Wait, it was all speed?
Always has been.
I just noticed that
This is way better than what secret levels was trying to be
ALSO SUPER SONIC AT THE END WHAT!?
Shout out to those who watched this video when it was called “Something about Photon Aerospace Control Man”
Yeah
That was on my tablet

But we all know Super Mario Bros 2 is Game of the Year Baby!!!
@Cham the Man, Super Mario 2? I think you’re thinking of Knack 2 baby!
@@axelbrett7666 nah, man. Knack 3 is where it's at. I got it from a warp gate into another universe. Knack gets a girlfriend and fights Shadow Knack, who is alternatively named Kank. 10/10.
I've finally found you
This was a masterpiece. The track was a perfect tone setter too. Never expected to see a Pac-Man x Dead Space mashup, but dayum this was good.
Nice to see someone who noticed the Dead Space reference.
Kinda hard not to notice it. He literally used Isaac’s breathing as audio lol
Memories broken the trophy goes unspoken I’ve even forgotten my name

bro made a simple arcade game into a 3 minute horror movie
This is by far the coolest interpretation of the original pacman I've ever seen.
Thanks for the heart!
And the music is great
@@jacksonhersom exactly, it was made by MyNewSoundtrack
No cap
I agree
If Galaga really is the sequel to Pac-Man, then that does explain why almost every Arcade version of Pac-Man also comes with Galaga.
I was searching comments to see if anyone noticed that it would make for pretty interesting plot tho. We might see one for Galaga next.
YO😮
But aren't the old namco arcade games also confirmed to be sequels to ace combat? Bc ac3 ends with the going to space thing, and as far as i know that's been confirmed. Holy cow, pacman and ace xombat are in the same universe
yeah
Ok
Ok.
Ok
Ok
Ok
secret level should have just hired you
After Kirby 64, this make a lot of sense.
How People see real world.
Yes.
I started wondering that after a while
I just realized that terminalmontage has been pinning newer comments.
Ya’ll noticed terminal has been watching theories?
-New HC for this video: The one in the Ms. Pacman suit is actually Adeleine.-
3:01, wait, I just realized I can't remember Terminal Montage animating an actual explosion, TerminalMontage actually animated an explosion! It wasn't just some cheap funny gif!!!
I still kinda prefer the GIF tho
I like the gift its funny
You could say that he recycled this animation and used it in the Kirby 64 video.
"I prefer the gif it's funnier" this video isn't meant to be funny.
Pacman: 70% of a yellow circle running collecting cheese balls while 4 monochrome blankets chase him.
*What Terminal Montage sees: An astronaut trying to escape from his ship that is being haunted by some kind of paranormal entity that has* *already killed all other crewmates and has caused a power outage. As the blue emergency lights turn on, our protagonist tries to maneuver* *trough the maze like structure, avoiding contact with the creatures while at the same time trying to collect ammunition for his gun, the only tool* *he has to protect himself.*
You are as insane as you are creative and you truly outdid yourself with this one. Also I appreciate the subtle hint in the title, as Photon Aerospace Control can be shortened to P.A.C, very clever.
He is very creative, but you have to consider that most of the ideas are taken from Dead Space.
Pac man
P- Program
A- And
C- Control
The only thing I don’t get is who’s player 2? The other PAC Engineer with the heavy weapon?
@@anonylemon9823 Ms. Pacman
@@anonylemon9823 it's Ms.Pacman. she has a bow on.
i love how the escape pod/ship was the galaga ship, amazing touch
and the enemy taking it away at the end amazing
I was super confused as to what game “Photon Aerospace Control Engineer” was referring to and when the text P a c m a n showed up and I started to laugh hysterically.
It's nice to see that Terminal Montage can do a variety of art styles that still fit in his own overarching style. Like that more detailed woman at 00:35 for the "Science" propaganda being more of a detailed person compared to his generally more rounded and minimalist style in drawing characters, or how he can make the Pac-Man Ghosts into fluid abominations. Absolutely pleasing to watch.
Yup! People often overlook the fact that in order to create a lively cartoon character, you first need to be able to draw "normal characters" well. It teaches you the rules of animation and perspective, and from there you can create comics that look deceptively simple.
"Blinky, Blinky! Hurry up, he's coming!"
"I've got to pack, man!"
Now THAT is some nostalgia.

Huge blast of nostalgia
PAC-MAN’S TRUE SECRET LEVEL
Pacman was the first true horror survival game.
Scary gam very
Yea some bloodines warning
Pacman was going to called Pucman
Lol so true
Yes
"huh that looks like the galaga ship."
Later: "ah"
Yeah, it _is_ the galaga ship
They already knew that
Ybuknk que no te preocupes te
@@aracherri *Sorry I dont speak Italics*
Look it was just a joke from "Baku Series" I'm not actually racist plz don't hate me
Did somebody say SEQUEL!?('
Everyone: no
Until today, I didn't realize that I wanted a live action Pac-man movie.
Pixels
There already is one... though it kinda sucks Just from watching the trailer lol
@Last Task Crewmate Phase 1 indeed it was
@Last Task Crewmate Phase 1
I can't believe they turned pac man into a bad pac man, that's why I hate pixel movies, plus they also invited billy mitchell, even though he was cheating on pac man and everyone doesn't know that
Ever heard of pixels
This is so much better looking than what they did for the secret level 😭
My brain: Pac-Man is a fun simple game
Terminal Montage: *ok but what if...*
This is exactly what all the key levels feel like,
Lol
When the power pellets don’t work, and you need to learn to predict the AI
I recognized the bar on the back, and didnt think it would be a Pac-Man thing
*what if we make it one another point of view?*
When youre lucid dreaming but it turns into a lucid nightmare
Dang
"aw yes finally in a lucid dream"
*looks in car mirror*
"oh no. *oh no. OH NO NO NO NO NO.* "
So it wasn't a cheese wheel eating smaller cheese wheels.
I always thought Pac-Man was eating Mento's-
easily my favorite terminal montage animation omggg I love how this one is serious for a change (still love the silly ones tho) my dad used to play pacman all the time back in the 80s-90s at arcades and i showed him this animation and he could not get over it
