List of Pac-Man clones
In video gaming, ''Pac-Man'' clones are unauthorized versions of Namco's popular maze chase arcade game ''Pac-Man''. The combined sales of counterfeit arcade machines sold nearly as many units as the original ''Pac-Man'', which had sold more than 300,000 machines.
==Arcade clones==
Hangly-Man (a mis-transliteration of the Japanese pronunciation of ''hungry man'' ((日本語:ハングリーマン) ''Hangurī Man'')) was one of the most notable Pac-man clones, a variant of which was ''Caterpillar Pac-Man'' made in 1981 by Phi. In the latter, one plays as a caterpillar, and the ghosts are replaced by spiders. Another notable clone was ''New Puck-X'', which used an altered design of the original board, but, otherwise, the gameplay and graphics were identical to the original game. There was also a clone titled ''Piranha'' where Pac-Man was replaced by a Piranha & the ghosts are replaced by squids. Also, there were no borders in the maze & the power-pellets were replaced with sea shells.
Lock 'n' Chase was developed and published by Data East in Japan in 1981, and was later published in North America by Taito. The game was later licensed to Mattel who produced the Intellivision and Atari 2600 home console versions in 1982 () () and an Apple II version in January 1983 (). Here, ''Pac-Man'' was replaced with a thief stealing coins from a bank vault. The ghosts were replaced with police, and the thief could temporarily block passages with doors.
Mighty Mouth was a game by A-1 Machines that District Court Judge Warren Keith Urbom described as "for all practical purposes, identical to ...Pac-Man"〔''Midway Mfg. Co. v. Dirkschneider'' (''Dirkschneider I''), 543 F.Supp. 466, 477 (D. Neb. 1981)〕 Among the similarities cited were the color and shape of the player character and ghosts, the maze configurations, the sound effects, the paths of the characters in the attract mode and the paths of the characters in both the attract mode and a game where the player does not move.〔''Dirkschneider I'', 543 F.Supp. at 477〕 Midway, owners of the Pac-Man copyrights, were granted summary judgment for copyright and trademark infringement in 1983.〔''Midway Mfg. Co. v. Dirkschneider'' (''Dirkschneider II''), 571 F.Supp. 282 (D. Neb. 1983)〕
