Dizzy Dolphins Game

This commercial aired in late 1980 in time for Christmas. Dizzy Dolphins Disco Game actually had nothing to do with disco at all. The name tried to capture the fading disco era. The actual toy did not last too much longer although I thought it was fun. It is similar to Gribbit (also Milton Bradley) but there are dolphins instead of frogs and the players control the marbles instead of the dolphins. Gribbit had a bee that went around and each player would have and would try to catch it in their frog's mouth.

I remember this commercial- I always wondered what the heck it had to do with disco?

[bnfast06]

It had nothing at all to do with disco. The "disco" part of the name was sheer marketing (the dolphins spinning around) to capitalize on the fading disco era of the early 80's. Poor choice; disco was dying and the game left as quick as it came. Try to find used versions of this game anywhere, it is virtually non-existant.
