PAC-MAN AND GHOSTS

Based on the characters from the iconic arcade gam that most of us played and loved that was developed by Namco in 1980s – Pac-man.  I was one of those that fell in love with the game as a kid.   I would spend hours trying to see how far I could get in the game.  When the game came to Atari, it was a must have.  Next to Q-bert, it was my favorite.  Here is my pattern for Pac-man and his archenemy- the Ghosts.
