The Claw!

The Claw is one of the cleverest games around, in that it fools one into spending vast amounts of money to win a prize that might be obtained in ones local Dollar Store, or Two Dollar Shop if one is of the Antipodean Persuasion. I don't care about spelling errors, so don't bother.

Even if you win, there aren't any higher levels, bosses or high scores, just the sort of stuffed animal you'd hang on the inside of your windshield, or some half melted chocolate bars. Last year one of my classmates blew his rent money trying to win twenty dollars out of Claw Machine.

A fool and his money are soon parted, much like the Red Sea, or Moses' Hair.

I used to play it. I never won and mom would stop giving me quarters. :cry:

I borrowed it from some friends for a little bit. I didn't get very far in it, but it was entertaining.
