Plot

The game begins with Pac-Man and his friends walk into Sir Cumference's lab. Three golden orbs are on a table, and while Sir C is explaining what they are to Pac-Man, four ghosts from the netherworld (Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde) come and tell Pac-Man that Pacopolis is under attack by the forces of Betrayus, king of the netherworld. They do so to steal the Frigidigitator, a device Sir C made for when Betrayus would make another heat-wave device like the one from Season 1's "Betrayus Turns the Heat Up".

gollark: It means the economy is *planned* by one *central* organization.
gollark: And there are additional complexities from stuff like (dis)economies of scale.
gollark: But only if you don't consider the fact that goods can be in different locations.
gollark: Which is easy for computers to deal with.
gollark: Well, apparently the USSR dealt with a few tens of millions of kinds of good.
