Whack-A-Mole 1.0, the carnival game, is now available for OS/2.
This is my OS/2 interpretation of a carnival game called Whack-A-Mole. The
original was a board with some holes in it. Mechanical "Moles" would briefly
stick their heads out from a random hole. The player had to whack the mole
with a mallet before it returned to its hole. I have taken license with some
of the features. Rather than being limited to four or five holes, these moles
have the freedom to appear anywhere on your screen, even on top of one
another. If you are opposed to whacking small fuzzy creatures, and have the
appropriate bitmaps and .WAV files handy, whack Bob Dole, your boss, or Barney
the Dinosaur instead.
Whack-A-Mole is shareware with a $5.00 registration fee.
The current URLs for Whack-A-Mole are
ftp://ftp-os2.cdrom.com/os2/incoming/wam100.zip
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/wam100.zip
Its eventual resting places should be
