Ghosts also known as monster by the original developer Toru Iwatani are spectral figures that stay in Ghost Land.
They travel to Pac-Land mainly to cause trouble and mischief to Pacman and Ms.Pacman.
Though sometimes these ghosts are nice, they show cruelty to Pacman that is if he is not intending to swallow them.
The Ghosts in Pacman’s 30th anniversary include Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde, and Sue. Sue surfaced after the introduction of Ms.Pacman.
These Ghosts attack Pac-residents by beating them with teeth not well known visually.
They also have a weakness which is Power Pellet. In Pacman and the Ghostly adventures animated series and games, the power pellet was replaced by Power Berries. This gave Pac-man more ability to defeat Ghosts even more.

Split Screen (256th level)
When someone plays until 256th level, the right side become garbled mess of code and the left is still fine Maze.
The right side still has some Pac-Dots around. If you use the hack to skip the level, the game goes back to the beginning level.
This is a bug so the game is complete at 255th level.
Sometimes this is referred to as Kill screen. At this stage our display turns into a mess of numbers and letters. This is like a game over screen.
