What Videopac do you consider clones of other games?

[What Videopac do you consider clones of other games?]

I would consider these inspired by/clones of other games:

 

Nr 11 Gunfighter (Gunfight-Taito)

Nr 22 Space Monster (Space Invaders-Taito)

Nr 29 Dambuster (Breakout-Atari)

Nr 33 Jumping Acrobats (Clowns-Bally Midway)

Nr 38 Munchkin (Pac-Man-Namco)

Nr 39 Freedom Fighters (Defender-Williams)

Nr 43 Pick Axe Pete (Donkey Kong-Nintendo)

Nr 44 Crazy Chase (Pac-Man-Namco)

 

Thoughts or suggestions?

[Videopac #49 Turpin/Turtles question]

Thanks for your answer Mike,

Youre probably right. Since it is a fairly unknown game to begin with they probably got the licence cheap.

 

Its strange though that they out of the 60 game produced suddenly decided to do one arcade port.

 

Guess we never know

 

Kind regards

[Videopac #49 Turpin/Turtles question]

Hi,

First post here😊

 

Back in the day I didnt know that Videopac#49 Turtles was a port of an arcade game by Stern/Konami

Is it known why Philips chose Turtles as their only arcade port? (not counting the four Parker bros. games)

Just seems like an odd choice. I spent a lot of time in arcades back in the days but never saw it anywhere. One would think that it would better spending presumably a lot of money on a more known license?
