SO...
Anyone who has read their Pac Man bezel knows that, much like Donkey Kong calling Mario "Jumpman", Pac Man's foes are called "MONSTERS". Not "GHOSTS". My question is... when were they first called GHOSTS and by whom? Are they officially GHOSTS now or MONSTERS?
Ghosts and monsters are two entirely different things. Ghosts are of the spirit world while monsters are most surely of the physical.
FWIW - Ms. Pac Man also refers to the ghosts as "MONSTERS" on her bezel, as does the Jr. Pac Man bezel. There is no reference to either monsters or ghosts on the Baby Pac Man... and even Super Pac Man refers to them as MONSTERS.
