Talk:Bad Graphics Ghost

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Should BGG be categorized as a Character or a Computer. I'm leaning towards Character. It should not be categoried as both IMO. - Drhaggis

I think character, since it isn't the Tandy 400, it was only on it. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Ghost Name?

I added a note on the page about the name of the 'Bad Graphics Ghost', but do you think we should rename the page/character altogether? I mean, which is it? Bad Graphics, Or Pixel? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

People seem to think that this looks like the ghosts from Pac Man, but I kinda think it doesn't/ The only real connection is that they're both pixelated ghosts, in similar "sheet-with-eyeholes" style. -LuigiHann

Killing the ghost

I added a section about killing the ghost at the end of the email "ghosts". If you didn't already know about this easter egg, check it out.

Combine

How about we combine this article with Bad Graphics Homestar. To make like a page called Bad Graphics. Then we could also add in the easter egg from the Peasants Quest game preview.--H*Bad 19:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Pac-Man ghosts

I agree with the removal of the following paragraph, but some people might not, so here's a place for discussion if anyone comes along and disagrees. Trey56 17:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The Bad Graphics Ghost bears a resemblance to the ghost monsters depicted in the classic arcade game Pac-Man, developed by Namco in 1980.

It doesn't really resemble them that closely, though, and Pac-Man is not remotely the only game ever to have ghosts in it. --Jay (Gobble) 17:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I entirely agree. Trey56 18:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

...although it WAS the first video game with ghosts, Pac-Man might not be the first appearance of "bad graphics ghosts"; witness the use of computers before 1980. (citation needed)
