Uh... weird, they changed the name of some games.

Whack-A-Kass is now Kass Basher
Whack-A-Ghost is now Ghost Bopper
Whack-A-Staff-Member is now TNT Staff Smasher

How dumb is that? I guess the powers that be decided that the word "whack" was to violent or something? :roll: Or are there some copyright issues with Whack-A-Mole? LOL
But the images and stuff in the game still say the old names. Wonder if they'll change those too?

I just noticed that too. Very odd. At first I was worried that they updated Whack-A-Kass like they did with UB -> UBII. Thankfully they did not.

Probably one of those two.

When will it stop? So many things are copyrighted! Sooner or later it's going to be every catchphrase from TV shows, any company names, items, etc. :|

All I can say is that there is really nothing to be done.

From today's Editorial:

So, TNT -- I totally just noticed that you changed "Whack-a-Kass" to Kass Basher, but the icon beside the game still says "Whack-a-Kass"! Were you guys getting around to it, or trying to trick us? ~Mushroomsofdoom

Lawyerbot's programming was updated and he learned there might be some "whack-a" games that existed prior to our Neopian games, so we renamed them. (He tends to be touchy about those things.)

Oh my, I originally made that comment about copyright as a joke, I didn't really think whack-a-___ could be copyrighted! :roflol: Oh what is this world coming to?
