Subject: "I'm a sole survivah!"

Written By: Daffy on 10/15/03 at 07:38 p.m.

What WAS that game called that was played with marbles and you pulled out slats hoping your opponents marbles fell through and not yours?  I remember having the game and I remember the commercial.  There's a group of kids playng it and the kid who won says (in kind of a Jersey accent) "I'm a sole suvivah!"  I still quote that line and nobody knows what the frick I'm talking about!  What game was that?

I think you're talking about "Kerplunk".  I had that as a kid in the 70's!  Unfortunately, my little brother used to keep breaking the sticks!  >:(

Nope, that wasn't it.  It was a square plastic board with slides all around the sides.  Kerplunk seems to have the same concept without the fancy board.  I'll check those sites out!  THANKS!!!!   :D

Ok, you've really got me thinking now.  I have e-mailed time-warp toys to see if they know of the game.  Will get back to you if I get a reply.

That's the Game - Kerplunk!  I loved it and I totally remember what you are saying.  We had this...I wonder if it's still at my parents' house?

Oh man. I remember this, even in Britain post 1993. I THINK it's a Mattel creation. Just so long as you make sure you haven't got something to set it on fire... ;D
