Mole Attack is a video game clone of the mechanical arcade game Whac-A-Mole. It was published by Commodore in 1981 for the Commodore VIC-20 and the PC-8001.
Gameplay[]
Moles pop up from nine holes, and the player has 60 seconds to send them fleeing back underground by bopping them on the head with a hammer.[1] Players can use joystick or the keyboard to position the hammer.[1]
Reception[]
In a 1983 review for Electronic Games, Charlene Komar commented, "Mole Attack will probably be a favorite among younger arcaders. Even though the eye-catching graphics combine well with the time-limit excitement, adults will probably find the game too simple and repetitive to get too many repeat plays."[1]
