Pigout
Pigout is an action game released in 1990 by Leland Corp. for arcade cabinets. Players control pigs competing to eat as much food as possible across various stages. The game supports up to three simultaneous players, making it a notable multiplayer experience for its era. Each player maneuvers their pig character to consume food items while competing against or interfering with rivals. The arcade cabinet uses a joystick and buttons for movement and actions. Levels present different food-laden environments where players race to accumulate the highest score. The competitive nature of the three-player setup encourages direct rivalry at the arcade, as players jostle for the same food items on screen.
