Revenge of the 'Gator

Overview

Revenge of the 'Gator is a pinball game developed and published by HAL Laboratory for the Game Boy platform. In Japan, Revenge of the 'Gator is known as Pinball: 66 Hiki No Wani Daikoushin.

Gameplay

Revenge of the 'Gator plays similar to most pinball games. The player shoots the pinball from the plunger and into the play field. Once the ball is in the play field there are many objects for the ball to hit that gains the player points. The player uses a right and left flipper to try and keep the ball in play as long as possible. When the ball falls through the bottom that ball is then lost. Once three balls are lost the game is over.

Modes

There are four modes of play in Revenge of the 'Gator:

• Gator 1 Player - This is the only single player game mode in Revenge of the 'Gator. The player has three balls in which to try and rack up as many points as possible. A single extra ball can be earned per game.

• Gator 2 Players - This mode is essentially the same as the single player mode except that two players play alternately in a hot seat style.

• Match Play A - The Match Play A game mode is a 2 player simultaneous mode using two games, two Game Boys, and a link cable. Match Play A is the easier of the two simultaneous modes.
