Strange Video Games In Today's Modern Arcade Vol. I

As a parent of young kids, I see a lot of weird arcade titles that only exist in child oriented gaming locations such as Chuck E. Cheese and in this example, Incredible Pizza. I took pictures of some of the more interesting ones. Click the pics for larger sizes and makes sure to check the company websites for more weird titles.I'm not sure if they got Rick Dees' permission for the title, but Disco Duck from Coastal Amusements is basically whack a mole for your feet.
This was a really nice and elaborate cabinet for Fishin' Time from ICE(Innovative Concepts in Entertainment Inc.)
The one that takes the cake though is this Gone Fishing cabinet from Tsunami Visual Technologies, Inc./JVL Corp. As you can see, it's just s single giant button that whacks a fish for distance. Yes, it's an arcade version of that penguin whacking Flash game from Yetisports.
