> I had no idea there were unprotected non-bootleg clones of certain games
In MAME context "clone" doesn't necessarily mean that somebody "cloned" the game, as in for example "bootleg of game x on Galaxian hardware".
Clone sets in MAME are typically earlier revisions of the game code, any non-World/non-English versions as well as unprotected or licensed versions and versions with more player inputs or even different sets of controls, for example Cabal which came in both joystick and trackball controlled versions.
In some cases there are little differences between regional versions of a game, like for example a certain version of Vendetta that hilariously has leather clad men forcing themselves upon your character, which aren't present in other versions of the game.
