Head On is the first dot-collecting maze game, coming out over a year before Pac-Man. Of course, as you can see from the title screen, it's not much of a maze, and you run over the dots instead of eating them. Eleven years later, it got immortalized in the memory of every Sega arcade operator thanks to a downsized clone being stationed on every JAMMA board purchased, exploiting a loophole in Japanese laws that forbade developers from selling cabinets without any games.
