   K.C. Munchkin == obvious ripoff of PacMan, for which Atari was the
   home-version licensee.

   Pretty thin. The Magnavox suit took place when Atari was all One Big
   Happy Company. If the suit were to take place today, Tengen (a subsidiary
   of Atari Inc.) could sue anyone who improperly duplicated a game which
   Tengen licensed from Atari Games (the coin-op guys).
