I meant the copyright issues about that particular C-64 version / versions. >I have a Creativision pacman clone where you go around the maze putting IN >the dots. It's as bad as it sounds... no, worse :) Creativision! I almost forgot this console. I think it's mentioned nowhere on the classic videogames page. I suppose it had the same TI videochip as the TI, MSX and Colecovision systems (?!). I'll have to make a search for it on the Internet... In fact, Munch Man on the TI also has the objective to PUT TOGETHER chains, instead of eating dots - except for one round where the maze gets invisible and you have to eat TI signs. Sorry, I forgot to look at the copyright there. Did you have a look at Alien yet ... or could nobody find that? I'd like to hear some comments about that Pac-Man clone... it seems not to use playfield graphics for the dots, but missiles, ball or whatever else there is.
