It's an electronic game for two players played on a tabletop board resembling a gridded map. One player takes the role of fighter pilot (attack) and the other takes the role of missile commander (defence). The aim of the game is for the pilot to avoid detection and make it across the grid to the target and destroy it, and for the defence commander to obviously seek out and destroy the fighter before that happens. If you can imagine it, it's a little bit like an evolving game of computer battleship.  It's part mechanical, part electronic and is a noisy game... and also engaging once you get the hang of it and the strategy.

It's uncommon to find this electronic game in working and complete condition, including the original instruction manual and all the playing pieces, but here is one. It takes one 9V battery and the battery compartment is nice and clean. Otherwise, very little cosmetic signs of age and wear. The box does have some signs of both, but it's in good shape considering its age.

]]> Lakeside Action Games Demolition Derby Game 1977 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/lakeside-action-games-demolition-derby-game-1977/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakeside-action-games-demolition-derby-game-1977 Tue, 26 Oct 2021 19:07:39 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=46023 A very addictive and fun game of dexterity and calm headedness against the pressure of time. Based on a demolition derby, the idea of the game is to guide your car into the "target" cars within the arena by tilting it, whilst the timer is running. The target cars are held in place in slots with rubber bands and when hit "pop" up and sometimes out of the arena. The timer activates a gate in the arena - if you don't make it back "home" before the gate closes then you're out and your score is annulled. It's a lot of fun!  There are two game variations to try out, as detailed in the instructions.

The game is complete with all pieces and instructions and is fully working. There are no chips or cracks to the plastics. The original rubber bands have long since perished but suitable replacements are provided.
