Lady Bug[a] is a maze chase video game produced by Universal and released for arcades in 1981.[1] Its gameplay is similar to Pac-Man, with the primary addition of gates that change the layout of the maze, adding an element of strategy to the genre. The arcade original was relatively obscure, but the game had wider recognition and success as a launch game for the ColecoVision console.[4]
