I’m sure there isn’t a person that hasn’t played the classic game battleship. How can something so simple be so fun and addictive to play?
I particularly loved blowing my brother’s ships ‘out of the water’ – well it was hard to do with only a board game. The imagination took over there, but the feeling of satisfaction was real enough.
In the mid 80’s, Electronic battleship was released. There we had depth charge noises and the sound of a battleship being blown up. This was the real McCoy – or as close as it could get for 1985.
I recall it wasn’t cheap at the time. My parents couldn’t afford one (or just wouldn’t buy it), so I had to play it at friends’ places.
Found this Gem on youtube. It is the commercial that was played on TV for the battleship game. Certainly brings back some memories….
