Skittle Pool by Aurora Don Adams 1973 Commercial

[major600]

This was the BEST toy I ever owned. I'd play it from the time I woke up on Saturday morning watching cartoons until I fell asleep at night watching The Carol Burnett Show. Happy days! (My days, not the TV show)

I remember this, but I had Pivot Pool, that commercial featured Lucille Ball.

I think that is him chasxyz. God spot. I had skittle pool and skittle bowling... From what I remember they were not all that fun.

[chasxyz1234]

@confed14 You mean Don Adams lied to us? That bastard! I had Bumper Shot, Colorforms, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral among others; They all kind of lost their allure after awhile.

Yes, I remember thinking these were the coolest things ever, and then by the time you got done setting up the game you realized they were not what you thought they were. :)

[jmccracken1963]

Veteran character actor Robert Middleton is "Wisconsin Skinny" (he previously appeared as a "guest villain" on "GET SMART" during its final season).
