There exist a gazillion of Pac-man clones, since the game is relatively easy to make for a budding hobbyist programmer. Also, since the game started a genre, arguably 80% of all maze-related computer games could be considered pac-man clones. This makes the list ultimately unmaintainable, as well as trivia.

- Weak Delete - The list itself notable, but most of the items in it are likely not to be. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 21:59, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, set criteria for inclusion as necessary. Kappa 22:36, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand to include a proper lead and as Kappa implies, make sure that these games are clearly Pac Man clones as opposed to just thematically similar. 23skidoo 22:48, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep although I suggest moving this to List of maze games and section it off between normal maze games and true Pac-Man clones. I also suggest that this list be kept to released product, as creating a maze game can be a common intermediate-level programming exercise, and lots of people who have taken a programming class or two have made at least one of them.

- Keep for published games that have all the gameplay elements (maze, enemies, timed power-ups, traversing the maze to win). Gazpacho 03:57, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
