loved this as a kid in the 90s. I always played video game machines, but the one thing I'd play that wasn't video games was this gator game. The "ouch" has never left my head since I was a kid.
I used to always play this at Chuck E Cheese's in Salem, Oregon. We'd have 2 kids at a time get half of them each and we'd always just slap them with our bare hands. It worked better that way, you're right. The mallet was useless and it's just so satisfying slapping gators in the face. For years after I used to make fun of the "Now I'm Angry!!!" part, that is how I know you have the exact one I remembered. Thanks for showing this thing.
I remember my sister loving that game when we were down in Florida. It was either at the Disney arcade, or the arcade at our hotel on International Drive. As soon as I saw the machine I could hear the “now I’m angry!” in my head.
I remember playing this game though I don't think it was Wacky Gator, I think it was called Gator Panic. (same game, foreign name) I think how Disney got a hold of some of those cabs was that Namco chose Disney to test the games as they were, which was more than likely, an early prototype. Also I was that kid that pulled the gators out while the game was over.
I heard they brought a wacky gator to the moon in 1969! Legend has it that NASA dumped it in some crappy penny arcade in Florida around 1985. Plus there was some old guy babbling about Gray’s Sports Almanac
I loved playing this game and I didn't know that it originally had a hammer and I agree who needs that stinky thing when you can hit the gators faster with both of your hands.
I love all your videos coming down the weekend of the October 14th and 15th is anything open down there Snow White open I'll be coming into your shop and play Miss Pac-Man
Piers are closed after today. If the weather is nice there should be several stores still open. Retro Arcade and Fascination is open Friday night, Saturday and Sunday
Hey Randy Friend, Where did you get your game? It seems like you got it at a sixth or fourth auction. The crocodiles are a little neglected and it also seems like they get stuck or stick together at times and they don't have the deck. And This Is The American Version The Original Game Is From Japan It Is From The Powerful And Tremendous Japanese Company Namco You know, Randy Friend, You did very well in Plugging and Connecting the Sensor to the Crocodile in the Largest Video Game Chain in Mexico My Country Because I am Mexican The Recorcholis Some of them have this crazy game and it lives up to its name The Wacky Gator A Woman O A Girl Hit It So Hard That She Unplugged It And Disconnected The Sensor That Makes The Crocodile Talk Luckily They Already Repaired It And Bought New Crocodiles Because They Were Already Somewhat Old The First Recorcholis Toluca De Lerdo State of Mexico She Still Has It With All The Crocodiles Already New Well, Old Crocodiles Were Combined With New Crocodiles I Guess You Are American And That You Live In The United States Of America Responder

@@eduardosedeno9876 when I had 10 machines in my play room, I could do things like fuss over little details. It's nice to sit back and criticize what you think could be better, but I don't have the luxury to fuss with something when it is working. I have way too many things I have to do, and there is ZERO money to higher extra help because I operate on the few quarters people actually play. Anyone who isn't happy because my gators aren't "tight enough" wouldn't spend a quarter even if they were here, as their goal in life is to walk around and try to make themselves sound smart but looking for nothing to point out that needs service. Sorry to tell you, but my gators are just fine the way they are! And perhaps you should buy your own Wacky Gator, and then you can make it just the way you want it! And better yet, then after you have it all nice and tight, you can put it in service someplace where people will wacky it until they break the plastic gators! That will give you something you can go fix again!

@@MainStreetRANDYLAND It's not nonsense and I'm not criticizing you, Randy. I'm simply telling you that your game is a little sloppy. I don't know if you've noticed that the crocodile that is in the middle when the game starts is a little stuck in its head and play it. It's not a joke.

Good morning Randy! Thanks for the new video! Great stuff!!!

An all-time classic

Hummmmm
Growing up in the late 90's, this was my favorite game at any pizza place that had it.
I loved playing this game and I didn't know that it originally had a hammer and I agree who needs that stinky thing when you can hit the gators faster with both of your hands.
Very cool
Thank you
Maybe a very soft foam mallet would be a good compromise.
Unnecessary. Best game play ever is simply using your hands
Personally I find it easier to play this game with my hands instead of using a mallet.

@@MainStreetRANDYLAND thank you
Perfect game, wow!
They used a cushion hammer
Much better using your hands!
Plus where's the hammer
Use your hands Vinny...
Just like doing feet!

Are you trying to put my game down?
I guess that makes you feel good thinking you are smarter than me or something...
Hope it makes you happy!
