The “radish” game makes me think of Sonic Blast Man where you have to punch a paddle as hard as you can to win the game. I was working part time at an arcade that received one of those - very popular but we had to pull it after three weeks by which time six people had fractured their wrists and sued the arcade for damages.
The radish game sounds like it would avoid the issues Sonic Blast Man had, but if a game like that were released in the US I could see overzealous people throwing their backs out, pulling the cabinet over on themselves, or wanting to use trucks and construction equipment to try and get unnaturally high scores.

- dottedmag 5y agoGood thing that "Radish" was also quite heavy. Good luck moving around 200kg device. Also, no scores, so no reason to pull harder once you've reached the "granddad" force level. P.S: Author didn't mention that the name comes straight from the Russian fairy tale where only the whole family could pick up a recalcitrant radish out of the ground.
- dottedmag 5y agoUgh, I take back "no scores". There were.
