The licensed, Tengen Pac-Man is the first port of the 1980 Midway arcade game to be released on the NES. At the time, Nintendo had restricted their licensees to releasing a maximum of five games per year that had to be exclusive to the console for two years. Tengen, subsidiary of Atari, worked to bypass Nintendo's lock-out chip that allowed Nintendo to control what games were published for the NES. Tengen eventually figured out a way to do this, and saw success with their unlicensed games. However, Tengen ultimately ran into a copyright controversy when they released an unlicensed version of Tetris for the NES.
