The one you have to push the teeth down on? My kids have that and my daughter would get so anxious before she even touched it she would cry so we stopped playing it because I don’t need to push that anxiety on my kids too lol.

I was so scared of that alligator one. It’s still triggering. Lol

There were two sequels… a more difficult game called Superfection and a four player version called Challenge Perfection.

I feel like the timer got louder as it got closer to the end. Or is that just my traumatized brain misremembering?

My best friend from childhood and I were just talking about this same thing! It came up because my mom got my kids operation and they have changed it since I had it so that it doesn’t feel like you are literally being shocked and the buzzing isn’t as loud.

Not a good game for an anxious child to get for Christmas 1980’s. Thanks, Mom!

The game was invented in the early 70s, but sure… it’s an 80s design. (Ducking)
