I just realized ive never played the actual Whack-a-Mole game before. I've played the one with the crocodiles and the sliding crabs, but never that. I've only seen the mole versions on tv

That's because they're mostly found at carnival arcades, although you do occasionally see them elsewhere. I know Excalibur casino in Las Vegas still has one.

Oh wait, that arcade did have carnival games too, didn't it? That would explain why it was there. I do know there's a decided arcade version that plays MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" that I've run into a few times.

The crocodile one is so much fun, one of my favorite arcade games.

Back in my day the controller was a mallet and we didn’t need no stinkin’ graphics!

I'd whack a mole if he was handsome enough.

My local chuck e cheese had one. Instead of moles or anything, it was that purple mascot.

I literally can't. Can't refute what's irrefutably true.

how long would you hold the gators down to keep them from retracting back into the machine?

[Anonymous No.7213929]

>>7213926
That's what I thought too, it'd be pointless.

>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".
Notice they make it a point to say the board is for "retro games" and never specify "video games" in regard to "arcade games". It's specifically because the board used to argue about whether pinball was allowed, so they had to clarify that non-video arcade games are fine.

Here. This is the board for them. Anon is just retarded. To retarded to even read the rules. Which is probably why he's underageposting.
