Wacko DescriptionKapt'n Krooz'r "kroozes" around the landscape and inside caves shooting monsters and avoiding collisions. Shoot two matching monsters in succession to make them disappear. On higher levels, shooting unmatched monsters creates "mutants".Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationWacko has a uniquely designed cabinet -- the marquee and control panel are angled! Instead of being the same height on both sides, the right side of the cabinet is about three inches lower than the left-hand side.Game PlayKapt'n Krooz'r must destroy all monsters on each level to proceed to the next. There are six different monsters to destroy on each level and they include blue lizardmen, black-robed space vampires, yellow two-headed dragons, brown mudmen and red man-monsters.On later levels, Kapt'n Krooz'r must zap like monsters in sequence or they will become mismatched and he will have to zap the monsters again to unmix them. Each pair of zapped monsters will then turn into babies. Once they have been zapped, the babies will turn into eggs and the eggs will turn into bats. Kapt'n Krooz'r must zap all the monsters and whatever they each become until they are all destroyed. After that, the player will proceed on to the next level.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
