Hi Guys,
I've observed that whenever there's a clone of a game like "Space Invaders"
or "Pacman", the author tends to give the clone an unlicensed name such as
"Invaders" or "Puckman", but it also occurs to me that they almost always go
ahead and rip off the graphics, and even the sound.
When have you ever seen a Pacman clone where Pacman isn't a yellow circle
with the slice removed for the mouth?
It's also common for a Space Invaders clone to use original sprites and sound.
How do they get away with this?
Cheers, Art.
