Eeny, meeny, miny, moe? Nope, but close enough! The names of the Pacman ghosts that give you a hard time at the arcade are Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Well, at least those are the US names for the Pac Man ghosts.
In the original Japanese arcade, the Pac Man ghosts were called Oikake” or “Chaser” for Blinky, “Kimagure” or “Fickle” for Inky, “Machibuse” or “Ambusher” for Pinky and “Otoboke” or “Feigned Ignorance” for Clyde.
Yeah, Clyde doesn’t really complete the rhyme but it’s the Pac Man ghost most tricky, as it can behave like Blinky.
“It was tricky because the monster movements are quite complex,” said its maker, adding that “This is the heart of the game … The AI in this game impresses me to this day!”.
