A presentation of Fender Bender (initially released as Head On), developed by Japanese AStar International and published by California Pacific Computer Company, the same company that published Richard Garriots' two first games, Akalabeth and Ultima.
Head On was used by On-Line Systems founder Ken Williams and his lawyer as a part of their defense in the 1981 Atari lawsuit. It shared mechanics such as a maze and dots with Pac-Man but was released prior to it.
