    Gawd yes. There was a toy shop I used to go into in Eastbourne every summer where they sold it. But I was never allowed it.

    There was a similar game which involved dinosaurs which I did have.

    Yes! I loved it as a kid and actually still play it when I visit my parents house :)
    It's the best board game.

    Webby, don't remember the dinosaur one but wish I did!I found the game in a cheap shopping mall that doesn't exist anymore, £3 or something.

    Leonie O, that's so cool. I wish I'd kept it, our mother gave them all away to relatives.

    I've never seen the game. Then again, I remember when they invented dirt. Things sure stayed clean before then, although we didn't have many places to play a board game.

    Jess, I remember a time where our board games were two sticks which we beat each other with :-D

    OMG yes! I totally forgot about this game. It had the clear thing with the ballbearing inside that you spun around. I think I was too young to actually have played it when we had it, but I remember bits of plastic :)
