In the early 80’s, many companies were making Pac-Man clones to capitalize on the success of the original game. Most of these were games that had similarities to Pac-Man, but were otherwise original titles. But then there were the bootleg games that were just hacks of the arcade original. Most of these are very basic hacks, with only minor level or graphic edits, but there were a few that were heavily changed. Of course, these were not authorized by Namco or Midway.
