Screwball scramble, King Kong, etc...

[motorollin]

I remember Screwball Scramble. It was great! I'm glad you can still buy it. Is it identical to the original?

The second game you are talking about is Kongman. I had that too as a child and loved it. If you Google it, make sure you spell it as one word otherwise you won't find it.

The third one rings a bell but I can't quite picture it or remember its name. Not sure I ever actually had that one as a kid.

Hope that helps with Kongman, and thanks for bringing back some memories

Hi,

Check this link out: http://www.retro-trader.com/tomyhand.htm

Hope help ya...

Yes, it's on that page You can see the spelling is "AAAAGHH!". Clearly Tomy didn't consider that people would one day be typing the name of this game into a search engine, otherwise they would have given it a more easily spelled name Also, how do you actually pronounce it? Do you just say "arg" as in the first three sounds in "argon", or do you pronounce it with a frustrated scream? If the latter, that's going to be a bit inconvenient.

There are some better pics here:

Thanks guys!  I've spent ages searching for this and didn't even get a sniff!  The game was also called Tricky Traps and searching for Tomy Tricky Traps on youtube even brings back a few vids of it.  Marvellous :-)

Glad you found what you were looking for I found some videos of Screwball Scramble in YouTube - they really brought back some memories! Looking at the video of AAAAGHH/Tricky Traps, it does seem familiar but I think I might be confusing it with Kongman.

I couldn't find a video of anybody playing Kongman, but here's the TV ad, which shows most parts of the game:
