best estimate...how many Pac-Man "bootleg"s were there?

Meaning blatant copyright infringement...examples where they simply changed the title screen or modified the sprites...but where some or most of the original code was copied. Same gameplay (i.e. maze, dots/whatever)...

In a business law class at the moment, and we're covering intellectual property, and I found a case Bally brought against some other companies...

Just curious how many other companies released a game that was intended to look/feel like Pac-Man...
