The player controls a little person, not a leprechaun. The goal is to steal the pot of gold from the leprechaun, who moves the pot around the screen.</p>
<p>You get more points by running through trees, which changes them to a different color. The leprechaun runs around changing the trees back to their original color. This makes no sense, but that's what you do in the game.</p>
<p>I remember playing this at the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area (probably San Jose) in 1982.</p>
<p>Lastly, this comment is not quite accurate form the original post: "This is a highly modified version of Pot of Gold by Gameplan." Actually, the game is identical except for the name on the intro screen. I believe the rights to produce the game were sold by Moppet Games to another company. They just changed the name and put the same ROMs in a different cabinet.</p>
