Parallels between the Pacman ghosts and the robots?

[Spacedad]

Just wanted to know if anyone else was thinking that the robots might have been influenced by the ides of the four pacman ghosts.

I want to find out from the developer if this is the case, but even if it's not, it's a great thing to draw similarities to.

-Four ghosts with distinct personalities, names, and behaviors

-The four ghosts leaving their eyeballs when Pacman eats them - the puppets leave your eyes behind when they stuff you into a suit

-Stuck inside a dark maze with a central point

-One 'touch' from them means game over

-Also, the secret puppet is a 'gold' version of Freddy. a bit like Pac-man's yellow.

A lot of this could be coincidence, but I get the feeling that some of it may have been inspired by playing pac-man at a Chuck-E-Cheese as a kid.

I made this same basic point earlier to a friend. Yes, I do believe it's coincidence though.

I played it over at a friend's house, and that did cross my mind, actually. It wasn't strong enough of a correlation to make me say anything, though.

It's not only that there are 4 ghosts.
- Blue, Pink, Orange are in the ghost-house <-> Bonnie, Chica, Freddy are on the stage
- Red is outside, but near the ghost-house <-> Foxy is in Pirate-Cove near the stage
- the animatronics in "roaming"-mode <-> the ghosts have always be in movement. even in the ghosthose they are bouncing around
- Freddy Fredbears PIZZA <-> Pacman looks like a Pizza (Pizza with a slice missing was the template)
- the 3 ghosts leave the ghosthouse in the following order: pinky (pink), inky (blue), Clyde (orange) <-> the Animatronics leave the stage in the following order: Chica, Bonnie, Freddy
- Red is agressiv and follows pacman directly <-> Foxy runs streight to the Office after leaving pirate cove
- the difficulty of pacman increases from Level 1 to 5 then later at 21 where the ghosts dont get afraid anymore. <-> 5nights + Nightmare.
- pacman is, because of the splitscreen in Level 256, impossible to beat. <-> 20/20/20/20 mode was supposed to be impossible.
- Scott stated himself, that he loves old games (Like Zelda) and obviously arcade
