jevansio Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Right I'm trying to think of the name of this 80's game. It had a tower, ball bearings were sucked up it and came out at the top and bounced down what can only be described as bouncy tamborines It's driving me nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 not ker-plunk?? That was my first thought until 'tamborines' and then the whole sucking up thing didn't relate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I remember this game vaguely but don't remember the name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'll try and elaborate, pretty sure the tower was a clear cylinder with a corkscrew inside which rotated (hence drawing up anything inside). The game itself sounds dull as dishwater, as there is nothing to actually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That would never get made today. Ball bearings? Kids? Lethal. Its a similar "passive" toy to that dumper truck thing, where balls got shunted around by diggers and dumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
