Game Name?

[Lucyas]

What was the name of the 70's game that had it's dice in a popper in the middle.

[smorodina]

Frustration (really ludo)

[gilf]

Used to love that game.

There were quite a few games in that range with the "Pop-o-matic dice". Frustration was the original one I think, and frustratingly I can't remember ay of the ones that came after it, but I'm sure there were quite a few. Some answerbanker must have one or two still hidden in a cupboard somewhere, surely?

[Chinajan]

I thought it was Headache

[gazzawazza]

Deffo Frustration. I had one, and I agree with smorodina it was really souped up ludo.

[Janetex]

Frustration, Headache and did Trouble and Hungry Hippos also have this?

TW no mate kerplunk was a cylindrical tbe with a bulge in the middle that you put loads of sticks through, then poured marbles into the top...game was to pull out a stick without marbles falling.....not hungry hippos either Janet that was a 4 player game where balls were droppped onto the flat playing area and each player had to use a little plastic hippo to swallow as many balls as possible....Frustration is the one that everyone seems to remember but I know there are another couple out there as well.

This seems to be a cheaper copy of frustration rather than another game though.

Didn't Yahtzee go through a phase of having it's dice in a popper? Didn't start out that way and I don't think it's like it now, but there was a brief interlude when someone thought it was agood idea to enclose the dice....

[tymac]

I remember "Trouble". the ad had a song that went " you can pop a lot of trouble... on the pop-a-matic bubble."

[Janetex]

Is it just me or are all our heads filled with a load of old rubbish?

[Kerplunk]

It was nothing to do with me!!
