Long ago, back in medieval times, an evil spirit known as Spooky had terrorized all of PacLand. In response to this, the great Wizard Pac created a potion that turned 5 ordinary fruits into the "Golden Fruit." A young knight called Sir Pacalot fought against Spooky and sealed him underneath a large tree using the Golden Fruit, which were attached to the branches of the tree.

In the present time, late at night, Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde sneak into the village and, in their mischief, pick the Golden Fruit off the tree in the center of town. Unfortunately, this releases Spooky from his prison. Spooky tells the ghosts to take the Golden Fruit and follow him if they wish to rid the land of the Pacpeople forever. When PacMan awakens, he hears the news from Professor Pac about the Golden Fruit and Spooky, and sets off to defeat the ghosts and Spooky
