Heh.. when I was a kid, the local supermarket's Punch-Out would shock the piss out of you when you hit the knockout punch button. I never will forget watching the manager get the piss shocked out of him; the game was replaced after that..

starcade rules. I used to watch it constantly. That was the game show that introduced me to such exciting games as Sinistar and Congo Bongo. I used to wish I could get on there.
