Revenge of the 'Gator, known in Europe as Pinball: Revenge of the Gator and in Japan as Pinball: 66 Hiki no Wani Daikoushin (ピンボール 66匹のワニ大行進?) (Lit. Pinball: The Great 66-Alligator Parade), is a pinball video game developed and published by HAL Laboratory. It was released for the original Game Boy in 1989/1990 and for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console on January 9, 2013 in Japan, September 5, 2013 in Europe and on October 17, 2013 in North America. The theme of the game is to score as many points as possible without having the player's pinball eaten by the gator.
The player launches the ball from the Shooter Lane and with the flippers that he uses to hit the ball around screen hitting targets and rolling through lanes to score points. There are four modes of play in Revenge of the 'Gator; Gator 1Player, Gator 2Player, Match Play A, Match Play B.
These two modes are the same game; the difference is that in Gator 2Player, Player 1 and Player 2 alternate turns by sharing one Game Boy. The objective of these modes is to gain a high score and have the player's name added to the "Top 5" score screen when his game is over. There are eight playing areas total; four Primary Screens, three Bonus Stages and one Gator Screen.
Screen A is the top of the Pinball game. The player's objective is to hit the fish on the upper left and right rollover where they pop out and become Gator Bait for the gator in the cage. Once the gator is fattened up it will break out of the cage where the player will have a chance to hit it for an extra ball. It is in this screen where if the player gets his ball into upper left slot he will warp to Bonus Stage 3.
Screen B is the area below Screen A. Here there are a bunch of blocks in front of a door and a slot. Knocking out all the block on the left side will take the player to Bonus Stage 2, while the right side will open the door to Screen A. If the player roll over three gators to full size, he will gain side savers and the saver post.
Screen C is the opening area from where the player launches his pinball. If he manages to light all four hearts, the player activates the side savers and the side posts. If the player hits the left three targets, he open the door to Screen B. Rolling the ball around the Loop Lane to the right activates the Slot Machine.
