Crossfire Board Game Commercial (Early 90s) - Wayback Wednesdays
Manage episode 376257992 series 2980467
Wes and Nick watch and talk about the Crossfire TV commercial from the early 90s and talk about its impact on millennials.
Background:
Crossfire is a board game created by the Milton Bradley Company in 1971.[1] The object of the game is to score goals by pushing one of the two pucks into the opposing player's goal. This task is accomplished by shooting small metal ball bearings at the pucks using the attached guns. The earliest version of the game featured a flat board, whereas the 90's release board is dome-shaped. This causes the ball bearings to roll into the players' bins more easily but can cause the pucks to indefinitely rest at the edges of the board. The 2010 rerelease changed this to being sloped with a shallow grade, preventing the pucks from sliding on their own as much and making it easier to get them away from the borders.
