- TRIVIA -
The game's creators probably did not get permission from Namco or Nintendo to use the characters, since there are no copyright notices indicating otherwise. While 'Pockimon' is a misspelling of 'Pokemon', "Puckman" is "Pac-Man"'s original name in Japan.
Most of the sound effects and music were taken from "Ms. Pac-Man".
