ORIGIN: US Tomy Pocket Game

VARIANTS: None

GAMEPLAY: Bizarre game using a mechanism which, unusually, doesn't feature in any other Pocketeers I know of, probably because it doesn't work very well. The button operates a little platform at the elbow of the ball channel., which "squeezes" the ball at high speed towards the crab as it shuffles left and right. If you can get the crab to catch the ball, it will drop it in the scoring hole at the left, otherwise you lose the ball in the trench.
