Sega’s world famous crane brand UFO Catch is finally here! Using their iconic “UFO” claw, players aim, grab, roll, drag, knock down, turn over, hook, drop & push prizes around to win. As it is, Sega’s UFO Catcher experience can’t be described in just one word!
Sega UFO Catcher is a heavily customizable unit with a built in 19-inch LCD television that is mounted on the back of the game. Unlike Japanese models, it is not controlled just by buttons, but instead comes equipped with four-directional joysticks. This makes it more like claw machines that players are used to in Western Culture.
The machine comes with 3 uniquely sized arms and 3 types of shovels (hooks) to accommodate almost any prize. Sega offered additional options, such as a 20” media player with Flash ROM to run customized advertisements or a fun instructional video; Plexiglas risers to better display prizes; bill acceptors; custom skins including Sonic The Hedgehog and a security bar. Sega UFO Catcher cranes move steadily and smoothly meaning that players can control the crane accurately without getting frustrated. Right away they can see that winning is a process, not just a one-shot play.
