I never played the game, but I think I read about that somewhere. I just looked it up, the name was a coincidence. It was written by a high school kid in California. He ended up getting sued by Atari, who held the US rights to Pac-Man, and in order to dodge legal penalties, he sold the game to Atari so they would drop the lawsuit. Atari sued a lot of people in its time. They also sued Magnavox over K.C. Munchkin, their clone of Pac-Man for the Odyssey 2. Atari even tried to sue Nintendo a few times once the NES took off. Nintendo almost always won those lawsuits, though, since they were as mean as Atari in the courtroom and had deeper pockets. :)
I miss the days when arcade games were everywhere. The Wal-Mart in Norman (which is now a Sam's Club) used to have games like Pig Out, The Simpsons, and Mortal Kombat II. The first video game I ever played was the Donkey Kong machine the Ak-Chin commissary had (it also stood next to a Dig-Dug machine and a Ms. Pac-Man machine.)
