Skittle-Bowl


My brother sent me this scan of an ad from an old comic book. Skittle-Bowl by Aurora. We had this game in the early 70s. I don't remember playing it a lot, but I think the ball and chain on a stick was used more as a weapon! Anybody else have one of these?

We had one of those. I actually enjoyed playing that. I'm hoping it's still in the front hall closet of my parent's house so I can dig it out next time I pay a visit.

Yep, I had one too. As I recall, it got old lining up the pins all the time. Plus the temptation to use the ball as a weapon was strong...
What I really miss from my youth was a game called Voice of the Mummy.
I loved that one. Going for over a hundred on ebay. I think its going to stay a memory at that price.

Our family held tournaments in the kitchen after dinner. My brother Tim was always the champ. Must've been his lefthandedness!
