Fix-It Felix, Jr Arcade (1982) by TobiKomi - Gameplay | Wreck-It Ralph
12Today we try a Fix-It Felix, Jr Arcade cabinet! \n\n[Gameplay]\nAt the beginning of a game, Ralph climbs up the apartment building, breaking windows as he goes. The playable hero Felix is tasked to repair Ralph's damage with a magical hammer, while avoiding bricks punched off by Ralph, and Duck Hunt-inspired ducks that fly horizontally across the screen at random. On some screens, if the player waits long enough, a Nicelander will appear in a window to drop off a pie which Felix can collect for a period of invincibility, faster fixing power and other effects depending on the version of the game.\n\n[Disney]\nDisney commissioned 30–50 promotional cabinets in 2012.\nDisney Interactive Studios is officially credited as the developer/publisher of Fix-It Felix Jr. (they made it strictly as a tie-in game for Wreck-It Ralph).\nThe arcade versions weren’t made by Sega, Namco, or any established arcade manufacturer.\nThe software/game itself was built in-house at Disney Interactive as a Flash/PC game and then adapted to run on a small PC inside the cabinets.\nThe cabinets were custom-built by Disney’s prop and set design contractors - essentially the same teams who make theme park props and promotional displays.\nThe cabinet in the movie is styled like a classic 1980s Nintendo/Donkey Kong–era cab.\nDisney invented “TobiKomi” as a parody/homage to early Japanese arcade manufacturers (the name itself plays like a mash-up of Taito/Namco/Nintendo/Komami vibe).\n\n[Game Release]
