For games starting with Vengeance... or bust, Astral Entertainment changed the character of Pac-Guy to Pea-Guy. Due to Hasbro Interactive (licensors of Pac-Man games on PC at the time) taking legal action against 3D Maze Man, and also releasing Ultimate Pac-Pack, Astral became convinced that Hasbro was deliberately targeting their Pac-Guy/Pac-Pack games and forcing them out of the market by proxy. Thus, to prevent a lawsuit that they were certain was pending, they changed the character's name and palette. All of Pac-Guy's history and supporting cast remained the same.
