Yep, that was certainly a memorable commercial.

Yep indeed. I kinda recall Pogo Bal. That was a really interesting concept, they could have called it Saturn ball or something because that what it reminds Me of ;)

Funny, we were just talking about these the other day, and my wife didn't remember them at first and I said they were the things you bounced on that looked like Saturn.

We were at the county fair yesterday and we were by a roller coaster called the Wild Mouse at some places but it had a different name here, and my son asked me what was the name of that game where you pushed the marble and the cage would come down and catch the mouse. So I said, the one where you would trap the mouse? I had to say it a couple times before he caught on and remembered the name, lol.

How about that, there's a ton of of stuff that looks like Saturn, it's as bad of an obsession like Mars.

Well that's good people are still having fun these days. Well that's good he knew that. Today's youngsters really need to know this stuff like their elders. I recall that Mouse Trap game but I never played that one. That commercial was really good PB :)

Yeah, I'm going to go to a couple second hand stores and see if I can find an older version of the game. The newer ones have fewer accessories.

I never saw that original Mouse Trap commercial which is quite cool to see however I do think I saw the newer one back then which is also quite fun :)
