Summary
Originally, Ms. Pac-Man started as an unauthorized hack of Pac-Man called Crazy Otto by General Computer Corporation, featuring a Pac-Man-like character with a blue eye and legs. To avoid another lawsuit with Atari (which they had previously received for creating “Super Missile Attack”, a Missile Command hack), G.C.C. presented the game to Bally Midway for approval of release. Midway, impatient for Namco to release the then-upcoming Super Pac-Man, purchased Crazy Otto for their own release, transformed into Ms. Pac-Man.
