Mattel Television currently is partnered with Fremantle to develop a game show inspired by the game, which has yet to debut. The show will be an elimination-style, unscripted series to determine the "Whac-a-Mole Champion". The competition will involve a life-size version of the game, as well as obstacle courses and other "surprising twist[s]". [21] Design [ edit ] Look beyond the fresh graphics and you will find an adaptive play pattern and more operator programming features. The game skill is progressive so as the player's skill is progressive so as the player's skill improves, the difficulty increases automatically during play. Eleanor Clift, et al. "Refusing To Lose".

The term "Whac-a-mole" is used in an article from the New York Times to describe a situation characterized by a series of repetitious and futile tasks. Game play options have become more adjustable, allowing the operator/owner to selectively alter the high score, hits points, rate of progressive speed, and game time.In addition to the single-player game described above, there is a multi-player game, most often found at amusement parks. In this version, there is a large bank of individual Whac-A-Mole games linked together, and the goal is to be the first player to reach a designated score (rather than hitting the most moles within a certain time). In most versions, striking a mole is worth ten points, and the winner is the first player to reach a score of 150 (15 moles). The winner receives a prize, typically a small stuffed animal, which can be traded up for a larger stuffed animal should the player win again. Current versions of Whac-A-Mole include three displays for Bonus Score, High Score, and the current game score. Home versions, distributed by Bob's Space Racers, have one display with the current score. Best 3 Results] (PDF). Game Machine (in Japanese). No.90. Amusement Press, Inc. 15 February 1978. p.2.

[3] TOGO released it as Mogura Taiji to Japanese amusement arcades in 1975. [4] It became a major commercial success in Japan, where it was the second highest-grossing electro-mechanical arcade game of 1976 and again in 1977, second only to Namco's popular arcade racing game F-1 in both years. [5] [6] Mogura Taiji was licensed to Bandai in 1977. [3] Bandai (now part of Bandai Namco Holdings) introduced the game to the Japanese home market as a toy in 1977, called Mogura Tataki ( モグラたたき, "Mole Smash"); it was a major hit by 1978, [7] selling over 1 million units. [8] In the late 1970s, arcade centers in Japan were flooded with similar, derivative "mole buster" games. [9] Mogura Taiji has since been commonly found at Japanese festivals.
