This video features gameplay from 40 clones/bootlegs/hacks/lookalike game versions of PAC-MAN. I am sure there are many more out there, but I have narrowed down the list to 40 (LOL). Clones and their ports are also included. While some are absolutely trash, there are some that are good, like Lock 'N' Chase, Lady Bug and MouseTrap. Read Time Stamps for more details
