Whatever happened to the "Clones of this game" section in MAME?

A while back, I recall MAME games having a section on their page that would list clones of the game, showing different region versions of the same game as well as bootlegs. I always enjoyed looking at these - especially for Pac-Man, due to the countless bootlegs, hacks, and clones of the game - but why did Vizzed get rid of it? There are certain games that I cannot find anymore (two being Pac-Man hacks, entitled "Piranha" and "ABSCAM") through just a normal search. Did Vizzed removes some games as well as a result?

I would like to know to because there was one of mortal kombat where you can fight reptile and you don't have to do anything, I forgot what the clone was called.

I was wondering that myself and I think it's because A) The new format of game pages with the additions of various new emulator options, or B) Davideo7 removed them to reduce space and cost on the server.

As far as I'm aware, they should still exist in the RGR. They just don't show on the game page anymore...

This is very strange....
ABSCAM and Piranha definitely still exist but don't show in the search results.

Vanelan : The clones were always deactivated from search results, but were linked on the parent game's page – where the new formatting is for the "Play Game & Choose an Emulator".

tRIUNE :
I thought there were other ways to find them. Like if you searched hacks or something.
Maybe I just never looked because they were on the game pages tho. ¯|_(ツ)_/¯

Likewise.
At least we found both of the games he was looking for.
He can play them again when he comes back. :3
