Sue would be re-imagined as a Purple Ghost in later Namco video games, like Pac-Land, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Attack. Even though in the cartoon Sue is purple, in the arcade game she is orange, the same color Clyde is in the Pac-Man game. When she was around, Pepper was usually the one who chomped the Sue. Pac-Man, Sue replaced Clyde in an attempt to give Ms. Sue, the only female ghost monster, is now just a separate character and the fifth ghost monster.It was a pretty creepy visual for the predominantly young audience, and in future episodes, Pac-Man just appeared beat up (or in a weakened state) rather than internally gobbled. When the ghosts catch up to Pac-Man in the early episodes, they trap him and "eat his skeleton", leaving him a disheveled version of himself. The idea of having a Ghost named "Clyde" being the leader would be carried over to Namco's own Pac-Man games from Pac-Man Arrangement to Pac-Man World 3, the Red Ghost was called Clyde, while the Orange Ghost was given the name of Blinky instead. Considering the gangster persona applied to Clyde and somewhat to Sue, Clyde may have been made the leader as a reference to Bonnie and Clyde (with Sue fitting the bill for Bonnie).
