Just in time for St. Patrick's day, here comes Pot of Gold/Leprechaun, a single screen arcade game where you must seek out the little green man's pot of gold all while evading the evil warwick davisesque leprechaun. The longer you avoid the leprechaun, the more points the pot of gold gives you, as well as the trees that you can run through and change the colors of.Not much to say about this game, really, it's just a sort of mundane chase game with a unique setting and goal, and two versions, one for the wee laddies and lassies, and another for the embittered potato farming catholic drunkards. Leprechaun is the easy version, from the appropriately named "Moppet Video", and supposedly came in a special cabinet just for kids, whereas Pot of Gold is much more difficult and was for the adults, or at least the sullen, smoking adolescents. Not many games got a special kid's version, so i guess that makes this one different, but there just ain't much to it.
