"felt" that's the word I'm looking for, I think.

and if gmroz had one that was brown, I didn't. Mine was white :shrug: WTF?

It SHOULD have been brown.

My older cousin Danny introduced me to a lot of games that other 35yr olds probably never played.

I had that game:shrug: Can still hear that sound in my head! I remember adjusting the little dials to make the guys run right or left. Good stuff

Pro Hockey....had big rink, players attached to metal rods of varying lengths, so players, thru your actions, could move forward and backwards via slots in gamefield, and by twisting left or right you controlled action, (not like those gay stationary players nowadays)
It was almost ALL metal...

Goal keeper slid left or right to defend wooden puck.

Lots of intense hockey battles with my bother..

..................................................................

what a great and fun game. Me and my brother had tournaments with this game.

I had a trick I used all the time. He would be hoilding his goalie so I would take my center player and push hard against his goalies leg . Then I would get into position with my left guy holding the puck. When my brother let go of the goalie to grab another guy, the force of me holding it blew his goalie open, and I would shoot and score in half a milliisecond.

My brother hated that play, he couldnt stop it from either side.

game never fell apart. Took alot of abuse.

Some neighbor kids played but it took them awhile to get the hang of it so mostly it was me and my brother.

I forget who got that for me

Dead Money...Hockey game was the best...had all 12 teams metal players and used egg timer for 3 5 min periods....the wooden puck was alot better than the metal ones...also curved the sticks to take someones eye out or a window.

Strat-O-Matic baseball.

Still have the boxed version of about 10 seasons and have the computer version as well, with every baseball season. Still play it today.

For a baseball purist there is nothing better.
