Super Pac-Man disassembly?

[PacManPlus]

Hi all:

 

Has anyone started or does anyone know of a disassembly for *Super* Pac-Man? I'm just curious because the monster behaviour is *so* different than any of the other Pac series of games that I'm wondering what they did.

 

Fire it up in MAME, turn on the cheat for invincibility and sit in a corner. You will see that Inky and Pinky go off in the *opposite* direction toward the opposite end of the maze. Also, for instance, if you have one side entrance blocked with a gate and the other open, you can then go out the open side door and 'hang out' on the other side that is blocked. You will then find that one or two of the monsters, *even if they weren't close to you* eventually go out that same side door and trap you. None of what I just mentioned would happen in regular Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, or even Jr. Pac-Man.

 

I'm very curious to what they changed in the AI for the monsters.

Could it be that SPacman have paths that could have dead ends and the AI was rewritten to handle that?
