To All,

NOTE: Uh-oh, confirmed space/town/train head posts in castle!! ; )

Does anyone else remember that old game "Castles and Catapults"?

Do you mean "Crossbows and Catapults"?  That's the one I remember playing,
though I know that there were other variations made by different companies.
That was a blast to play.  I never bought any myself, but I suppose it
wouldn't be too hard to construct all the necessary components out of Lego.

Man, did I love that game! It was a blast, the crossbow on the ground, the
catapault, you building the various castles and people and the like. I ended
up using a bunch of checkers as buffers, and a few various other items in my
useless stuff. Dominoes, other wood blocks worked well too. You had those
disks with the faces of the different sides, those were the ammo. My firend
and I played with that a lot when we needed a break from the LEGO bricks! : )
If I remember it right, it had sverasl loose plastic bricks and towers and
stuff, so using LEGO items would be harder, I think. Besides, who wnts to
use up good minifigs for the men? : )

Ah, the fun old days. I think they came back recently, I saw them not too
long ago.

(...) You mean me? Ugh, I can't pick a theme any more. A brief year ago, I wouldn't have been spotted in the town or train groups either. Now you never know where I'll turn up. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)
