Pac-Man clones that were released in 1983. There were a ton of copycats just in that year. All of these games have the same maze and pellet eating mechanics.

I don't see Nibbler as a Pacman derivative. The snake type of game has existed for a long time, and there are no ghosts or monsters whatsoever in it. Some games that are much more derived but are missing from this video: Mouse Trap, in which the mouse can turn into a dog and therefore eat the cats. Ladybug, in which the monsters are insects, and the ladybug can never eat the insects, it can make the doors rotate 90° though, which slows down the insects.

0:36 Sounds like my kid ringing the doorbell over and over again. I don't really have a kid, but if I did, that's what it would sound like.

It's a miracle some of these companies didn't get sued.

I would have included Sn0ggle for Apple II by Br0derbund, Munchman for TI 99/4a by TI, and Jawbreaker for Apple II by Sierra On-Line.

The Scooby Doo one sure doesn't seem anything like Pac-Man

I'm surprised that the unofficial Pac-Man clone called Munchy that was on commodore 64 wasn't listed on here.

Isn't Z-Man a "hacked" version of Pac-Man for the ZX Spectrum?

The Vic-20 ones *almost* have an excuse for quantised movement. But the C64? Come on...

5:01 This is not a pac-man clone, and it's not a pac-man ripoff. This is the OFFICIAL port of Pac-Man for MS-DOS and PC-DOS. This port was made by Atari. Once you open this port in the DOS prompt, it says "COPYRIGHT 1981 ATARI, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" and then shows the menu. Namco allowed Atari to publish Pac-Man to different devices! Please, do research before making a video similar to this one.

sigh...the concept of Nibbler existed before PacMan. Again..even with just 800 subscribers, do SOME research.

It's a cross between the classic snake game and Pac Man. Unless I am mistaken, there weren't any Tapeworm or Snake type games that featured gobbling dots in a maze environment, so it's classification as a Pac Man inspired game still stands.

@@bubbythebear6891 The point is, Pac Man WAS NOT ORIGINAL. The concept of going around a board having to cleat dots was popular AT LEAST with Exidy's Crash in 1977. Crash may have had a simply "maze" but there were even other Crash type games that had more complicated mazes that still came out before PacMan. And half this dumb channel's "Pac Man clones" (or videos of alleged clones of other games) videos (which there are several) are constantly including games that are CLEARLY clones of games that came BEFORE Pac Man. I don't known if it was this one, and I am not going to watch again, but he even called Crash a clone of Pac Man in one video.
