English: The objective of the game is to hold as long as possible two metal bars that create the feeling of an electric shock. The player doesn't get one, but the vibrations give him a feel of it. The speed can be increased or decreased using the buttons on the control panel. A series of coloured lights go up to Uncle Fester’s head and the participant lights the bulb in his mouth if they can hold on long enough. The player who holds these bars for the longest time is the winner.
Français : Le but du jeu est de garder en mains aussi longtemps que possible deux barres métalliques qui créent la sensation d'une décharge électrique. Le joueur n'est évidemment pas électrocuté, mais les vibrations lui en donnent l'impression. La vitesse peut être augmentée ou diminuée à l'aide des boutons du panneau de commande. Une série de lumières colorées montent jusqu'à la tête d'Oncle Fétide et le joueur peut allumer l'ampoule située dans sa bouche s'il parvient à résister aux décharges qui se font de plus en plus fortes. Le gagnant est celui qui parvient à tenir ces barres le plus longtemps possible.
