Pac-Man (Tengen - Black Cartridge)

A port of the classic arcade quarter-muncher, this particular NES version was partially caught up in a feud between Namco and Nintendo about the company's licensing fee structure. The game was published in America by Atari's spin-off Tengen label on game cartridges. (Tengen later also had its run-ins with Nintendo, which resulted in the unlicensed versions of Pac-Man on irregularly-sized black game cartridges.) The quality of this Pac-Man NES port, however, was untouched by the politics of the day -- the game was ported by Namco itself for the Famicom long before the controversy (the American version is the same as the Japanese version) and was largely faithful to the arcade classic.
