Category:Video game clones

These computer and video games closely resemble other, previously published games. This was common during the early 8-bit computing era when legal action was rare. The themes are usually successful and iconic; the myriad of Space Invaders or Frogger clones, for example.

In later gaming history, the term 'clone' often refers to a style of play that becomes a genre of it's own. A Doom clone or a GTA clone would not necessarily be an almost carbon-copy of those game.

A game is not considered a clone when it is an official sequel or remake.
