Lock 'n' Chase (ロック・ン・チェイス) is a 1981 maze video game developed and published by Data East for Japanese arcades; it was licensed to Taito for distribution in North America. It has similarities to Pac-Man, including a goal of collecting dots, with the addition of doors that periodically block pathways. Home versions for the Intellivision and Atari 2600 were published by Mattel in 1982, and an Apple II version was released in 1983. An updated version was released for the Game Boy in 1990.
