There's this other contraption/game thing that I can't recall the name of.
You had this wooden base with circular slots in it. Above it were two metal rods that you manipulated in and out to make this large steel marble roll up and down then you tried to drop it into the slots. It got harder the further apart you pulled the metal arms. I think one version had planet names on it and others had numbers for points value. Oh well I haven't been able to find a pic. due to not knowing what to call the thing.

I'm sure every boy from our generation played battleship at least once. I even remember the tv commercial.. "You sunk my battleship"..

How about "operation"?



And "Mousetrap"?

How about Risk? Now there was a saga of a game! Could take days to finish. Or how about Stratego? That was a crowd pleaser.

I loved Operation but it made me jump everytime that buzzer went off so I wasn't very good at it due to jittery hands!
