• Hiding spots: The monsters use the same movement logic as in the arcade game. The Pac-Man Dossier by Jamey Pittman (gamasutra.com/view/feature/3938/the_pacman_dossier.php?print=1) describes an area of the maze where the monsters logic can be exploited. The two red zones represent the areas where monsters are forbidden to make upward turns. Once a monster enters either of these two zones, it may only travel from right-to-left or left-to-right until exiting the area. This same exploit can be used in the 5200 version once the monsters settle into their final chase pattern.
