That’s the one I remember, back when the Metro Centre had an arcade. I’m pretty sure the handles just vibrated at increasing intensity until you let go rather than providing an actual electric shock though
I remember 15 years ago being in a club in Acapulco and there was this old Mexican guy just going around with a modified car battery and two handles. He’d offer the handles to you then turn this big knob that controlled the voltage. And then he’d ask for a tip! It was so stupid.
These were actually a thing. Search for “shockers” here:

Well, if you don’t tip, he just cranks up the car battery and chases you. Smart business model, honestly.
