Ball Buster
Tue, Apr 1st, 2008
First watch the video for this fun game. It’s similar to checkers as players move around playing pieces and attack their opponents. Each piece consists of a plastic ball mounted on a long springy thing, which you peg into holes in the board. You attack your opponents’ piece by pulling back on one of their own adjacent pieces and letting go, causing the plastic balls to collide. I guess it’s good that no pieces are blue…
No April Foolin’ - it’s true. Back in 1975 Mego created this board game. Would it have been as much fun if they called it Atom Smasher?

best part of the video was “and for adults, it’s exciting.” i will say this, i’m feeling very vulnerable right now.

More likely to bust an eyeball with that game.
