Первыми одушевленными цифровыми героями стал Pacman и его враги привидения:
The Red monster is Oikake, "Chaser." This is the monster players will most often find on their tail throughout the game. Nicknamed Akabei, "aka" being Japanese for "red." Also known as Shadow or Inky in the US.
The Blue monster is Machibuse, "Ambusher." His strategy is to head toward the opposite end of whatever tunnel Pac is going through. Nicknamed Aosuke, "ao" being Japanese for "blue." Also known as Bashful or Blinky in the US.
The Pink monster is Kimagure, "Whimsy." His US name is Speedy, though he's not the fastest monster (Akabei is). He just goes in the general direction Pac is located. Nicknamed "Pinky" in both Japan and the US.
The Orange monster is Otoboke, "Plays dumb." He goes in random directions that tend to gravitate toward Pac. Nicknamed Guzuta, "gu" being Japanese for "stupid." Also known as Pokey or Clyde in the US.
