The Sound of Eating is a guide to the Pac-Man universe. Well, mostly just the arcade games (not the cartoon and all of that.) The Ghost Psychology page was one of the more interesting ones; amazing how much thought went into the personalities of those ghosts. I wonder how much that aided the popularity of the game, I've played some clones that I'm pretty sure had less complex ghost psychology and I don't think I notice a difference while playing.
The First Church of Pac-Man may also be worth a browse through, seems to all be on one page for easy scrollability.
If you're really intereted in this stuff, you can always see some previous Pac entries here on kisrael.
