n8littlefield Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Does anybody know of a place where I might find the arcade version of Hungry Hungry Hippos? My wife and I played it at a Chuck E Cheese a few years back in New Hamphire IIRC and loved it, it had arcade buttons to make the hippos eat and a dome over the game, and I think it might have dispensed tickets, but I'm not certain. I've never seen it anywhere else - anybody know where one might be found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hit an arcade auction in your area. Do a search on google for a local distrubtor and see if they know of one. If you get one at an auction, chances are it will go cheap. You don't care if it gives tickets, score, bells, etc. so you don't have to be really picky. FTWIW, they have a video version one that breaks MUCH less often. In the arcade industry, moving parts=bad. Look how many pinball machines are still on location...too many service calls compared to the count-once-every two weeks touchscreen.

TheBman80 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah I have been to many an Arcade auction the ticket/redemption type games always go cheap I guess they lose their apeal once you cant trade tickets for useless crap anymore.

RickHarrisMaine Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Nate, the Chuck E Cheese in South Portland, Maine, at the Mall, I believe, has this Hungry Hungry Hippo game you're talking about. Not a videogame, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8littlefield Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't know - I've never been to the S. Portland one - I'll have to check next time I'm in the big city Yeah - it's not a video game, just a big version of the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fun for the little ones, but once they hit 6 its a bit on the tame side. Now I hear this Funspot place in Winnepesaukee is possibly worth the trip.....

yuppicide Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, ICE is the company that manufactured the game. Maybe they have leads to someone who has one since they no longer make one. I want this: http://www.icegame.com/GameDetail.aspx?ProductID=55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
