 In development, the game was titled "Puc Man" (the first Japanese title of the arcade game was "Puck Man") but the name was changed before release to avoid legal action.However, the initial release of the game was so close to "Pac-Man" (including the design of the game's characters) that this version had to be withdrawn and re-released with the characters changed.The player's character became a round yellow face with very short legs wearing a green cowboy hat and the ghosts became skinny humanoid monsters.
