PAC-MAN never had a great story. Yellow circle runs from ghosts, then eats them when they turn blue. Project Yellow Sphere elucidates the issue.

In the last 10 years or so, the internet has lit up with fan-made takes on the PAC-MAN mythos, casting him as everything from a motorcycle-riding vigilante to an indescriminate, soul-devouring monster. We’ve seen him as a horror-stricken astronaut, haunted by the ghosts of his deceased shipmates, a prisoner locked in a labyrinthine asylum, and as a hilariously awesome cameo on Futurama. Still, the larger questions went unanswered. Namely…

What the heck is a Pac-Man? What are the ghosts? What and/or where is this blinking blue maze? And how exactly can a hungry yellow ball exit on the left side of the screen, and re-appear again on the right? On the surface, it was absolute, utterly random nonsense.

A fan-made trailer for a PAC-MAN movie, written by James Farr, gives a far-fetched but logical explanation for PAC-MAN’s existence. A year in production, the trailer boasts professional special effects and, of course, an impressed military man.
