    Crossfire

    crossfire2Crossfire was heavily promoted in 1971 on television, but never really lived up to expectations.

    It was advertised as “The fastest rapid-fire action game ever”, and was based on the concepts involved in Ice Hockey and Curling.

    The tabletop game became a staple of rainy days in the ’90s as combatants blasted metal balls from opposite sides of the board to score pucks in the opponent’s net.
