Haha! I never thought as long as I lived that there would be a home version of Whack-a-mole! Now, there was the bonus game in Sam and Max Hit the Road, Whack-a-Rat, that while cool, just wasn't the same. This however, this ladies and gentleman, is a true home version of Whack-A-Mole!! What heartless corporate executive could have possibly axed this from their lineup? Well, in all likelyhood, none. This game has a 1983 copyright, and we all know what happened in 1983...
I get a kick out of this game - I really do like Whack-a-mole, and this is a pretty good translation of the game. Although you don't get to literally smash the little mole with a giant hammer, you do get to use the Keypad controller, with the mole holes represented by the 1 through 9 keys on the keypad. There are also two different kind of moles to smash. The red ones are your standard mole, and then there are the purple moles with a crown on which are worth more points. Fun shit!
There's nothing like smashing the hell out of a few helpless rodents to relieve stress. This game would have been really cool if it actually came with some kind of "hammer" controller, but it was intended for the keypad controller, most likely for cost reasons. Still, a really fun game!
