The arcade this machine was discovered at, Fun-O-Rama, also had a large selection of cl@ssic arcade machines such as Operation Wolf, Joust, and a full-size, sit-down version of Afterburner. It is unlikely, however, that you have even read this far after a picture of a lobster claw machine. A live lobster claw machine.
