Popcorn Game, released by Marx Toys in 1976, was one of my favorite childhood games. There was nothing like the chaotic rattle-clack sound of those plastic balls hitting the dome. Such a classic piece of 1970s toy engineering; simple, but surprisingly competitive. I recently restored a broken one I bought off eBay to play with my kids. Can’t wait for game night!
