gator panic/wani wani panic/wacky gator is another cute namco electromechanical arcade game i’d really like another chance to play.

look at the boring, lifeless way this guy plays though, just tapping the gators with his hand. pick up the mallet and put your heart into it! >:O

I have a LOT of thoughts towards Wreck-It Ralph (which I'll probably toss up here some time), but I wanted to mention one small thing real quick. I don't know if it was intentional, but Ralph's "I'm gonna wreck it!" reminds me so much of one of my most favorite arcade games, Whack-A-Gator/Wacky Gator/Gator Panic, where the game would start off yelling "I'm gonna get you!" It's a mechanical game instead of a video game, so that's why I don't know if it was on purpose. I have a LOT of memories of playing Whack-A-Gator when I was little, sometimes alone, sometimes with a parent or two, and maybe even with friends. It's a little important to me, so I do like the shout-out, even if it is unintentional.
