Description
Candy store-oriented eat-the-dots game with automatically escalated skill levels. A courtroom favorite.
That final comment refers to the legal action taken regarding this game. Although it used different graphics, it was clearly a "Pac-Man" clone, and so Sierra On-Line was sued over it.
When the judge was shown the two programs to make a ruling on it, he determined that they didn't "look" anything alike, much to Atari's chagrin, and Sierra was allowed to continue selling their game.
