Old Claw Machine
Pick up some old technology with some old technology and score some points, but be easy on the old thing, it's a bit fragile.
Direction keys to move side to side and up and down and "C" and "V" to open and close the claw. Try and get the items to the chute on the right hand side. No guarantees your item wont get stuck on the chute flappers.
Enjoy the same frustration we have all experienced before, but this time you don't have to loose the game and a dollar.

Felt all the same frustrations I did trying to use the claw to grab toys as a kid. The Claw machine at my local mall also lagged when I walked up to it - perfect realism! Using old tech to pickup old tech is hilarious. This is top notch satire, and nice implementation. [SPOILIER] - sundials are in this game.

Hmm, okay, I see the idea, but it’s missing some things to make it fun.

I got 4 points, which I'm assuming is the world record

Hi, claw bugged and turned into a Y and never came to normal.

Using an old claw machine to pick up old tech is a funny take on the theme, and the claw frustration sounds all too familiar. Some optimization would help, but the concept is solid.
Great concept, despite that!
