Bigfoot Bonkers
原始人：Bigfoot ers
Bigfoot Bonkers is an action arcade game released in 1976 by Meadows Games, Inc. Two players compete simultaneously, each controlling a paddle-style input to bat a ball back and forth across the screen. The gameplay draws on Pong-style mechanics but adds a distinct twist with the Bigfoot theme and additional on-screen elements. Players must time their shots carefully to outmaneuver their opponent and score points. The cabinet supports head-to-head two-player competition, making each match dependent on the rival's reactions. Controls are straightforward rotary or paddle-based, focusing on precise positioning. The game does not feature distinct named levels but progresses through continuous rally-based play, with scoring determining the winner.
