When I was a kid growing up in Ontario, most of us didnโt have expensive gaming gear like Nintendo consoles, which a lot of kids in upstate areas had. We mostly spent our time outside playing baseball and basketball. And once in a while, when we saved up a little money, weโd hit up the local arcade.
I donโt know if you remember, but there was a super popular game back then called Whack-a-Mole. You know the oneโmoles popped out of random holes, and you had to smash them with a hammer to score points. It was kind of the next big thing after the Catch Me challenge.
I used to love that game. But now, with work and everything else, it's tough to find time for that kind of fun. I figured Iโd look for a similar game on the Play Store, but honestly, nothing really hit the same.
Later, while searching online, I ended up playing on a site called Player 1. They had some simple arcade-style games, tournaments, and even a few chances to win prizes. More than anything, it just brought back a lot of good memories.
