#Narrative structure:

                              Act I --> Act II --> Act III

There are three cut scenes between levels in the game that show Ms Pac-Man and Pac-Man meeting up, falling in love and their son Jr. Pac-Man. These scenes display different mazes in the game after they are shown. Their meetings give a break to the players from the action and let the audience take a look at the main characters' lives.

##Act I - They meet:

Both Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man are being chased by ghosts and they are running form them. Pinky is chasing Ms. Pac-Man and they enter the screen from the right side, while Pac-Man is being chased by Inky and they go in through the left side. They meet at the middle of the screen and turn upwards as the ghosts collide and disappear. Once they are at the top of the screen a heart appears above them.

##Act II - The chase:

Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man are playing and chasing each other down taking turns in who is running from one another. After three turns they start running at faster speed for two turns more.

##Act III - Junior:

The main couple are shown awaiting the arrival of a stork that is flying around them. When the bird passes over them he releases a bundle that is dropped to the floor, inside it Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man find a baby Pac-Man. This act is repeated two more times, making a total of 5 acts.

In the later game named Jr. Pac-Man this scene is shown as the introduction scene.
