I love this commercial, wondered if the game is good or not.

Wow! That brings back memories. I got that game for Christmas around 1970ish. It was fun for all of us kids. We later skipped the pendulum ball cue and just used a 3/8” hardwood dowel like a normal cue.

I had Skittle Bowl as a kid way back around then, got it from Santa. It was a pretty big hit with my uncles when we had the family over for the holidays, we all played. That game taught me how to keep score for bowling, which I don't think kids even learn anymore.

In the 60’s we played Magnetel by Mattel. Pivot pool was much better but Skittle Pool was the bomb. Would love to see Skittle Pool played as the final game in major tournaments to decide the real world championships, you know for us bigger kids!

I had skittle bowl, it was a lot of fun and a good game of skill.
Wish I still had it.
