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.

Shoot the Moon!
Ours had the names of major world cities.

Yes that is most certainly it! Thanks j.nc!

I loved Battleship too IS! The original one with the pegs was much better than the electronic one later!

Then came computer games. Duke Nukem, Doom, Heretic, Descent, Quake, Quake II and Hexen. I gave it up for reading and enjoying the outdoors. The board games I must say would much less stressing. I will still go with Chess.
