Toys Of Christmas Past

Crossfire was one of those games that looked brilliant on tv, but was really fucking shit.

Just a bit of hardboard with a couple of ball bearing guns...

Had a great football game by Casdon With players in hollows on a hard plastic pitch... I'm guessing Casdon Soccer but may be too obvious
 
The original game of 'Risk'
Plastic rifle that fired a dart with a sucker on the end
Bow and arrows with plastic suckers on their ends
I was easily pleased!
 
Got no idea what it was called. Maybe some of you old b'stards like me will remember.....

The best way to describe it would be miniature curling/bowls. you were red or blue and you would send your ball bearing type thing down the board and it would hit 2 sets of elastic bands to send it back towards you down the other side of the board where you would score points on its resting position.

I'm an old fart and that slightly rings a bell, will think about it all night now, get back to you

When somebody said 'crossfire' i thought...yes that's it...but there were no guns.

Was it 'cross' something...

Was it 'Flipper' two flippers on springs at one end of the board and the elastic at the other?

I thought it was 'free hand'? though my memory is shite. I remember it being a little mini curling game really. Way before curling.
