I have all the sets of this game and love playing them. I will play them separately or hook them all together for one massive battle. I am waiting for my 4 year old to get a couple of years older so we can play together. Loads of fun and highly recommended!

He must be 7 now, does he like the game?

[@chriskimminau7940]

@@warface4881 He loves playing them, especially when we put multiple sets together

I grew up in Canada and I remember this game being called siege.

[@GeorgeRasoulisMusic]

In Greece had the same title but in Greek language " Πολιορκία " 😎

[@reloadersjournal]

They probably made the battle balls a bright orange so you could find them easier after firing them.

....or to represent fireballs

[@SwankeyMonkey]

I think you both win. Yeah.

[@stinkskc]

This was a renewal of the 80's game Crossbows & Catapults, also a great game. This one was much more elaborate.

[@GeorgeRasoulisMusic]

My childhood along Hero Quest and Space Crusade 😎 I still got those gems 🎵🎶🙏

[@SwankeyMonkey]

I used to have the original Crossbows & Catapults game when I was a kid. Good times. That one I feel was better, and I miss not having it any longer.

I just found this complete at a salvation army for 3 bucks. Looked like a ton of fun from the outside of the box. Thanks for teaching me what the heck it was all about :D

your video has gone far far beyond what i thought it would be you sir are amazing and awesome

[@tomalajr]

Really great video my man. Keep it up! Seriously, great content! One improvement you can make that would make a big difference is mic audio quality. Other than that, superb video!

[@lawdog1569]

Still have mine. Kind of surprised I do. It's been 18 years sense I last opened the box. Can't wait for my son to play it. That and Heros Quest.

[@jeffreese1828]

Mousetrap is older than 80's , maybe 60's even . Anyway , I can remember playing it in the mid 70's .

[@Kriswixx]

What a trip, in the timeline i come from, we had a similar game but it was called Crossbows and Catapults. was fun, until one of the players decided to double up the rubber band and increase the power as victor.

[@awesomepetertv]

i honestly believe they used red battle balls so that when the kids lost them (which happened often) when finding them, you'd know right away what they went to instead of throwing them away by mistake. i literally lost a ton of them under the couch when i had the pirate set. just thought id give my honest opinion

[@Space__Rooster]

Me and big bro would throw some epic fits whenever one of us lost at this game. Lol it was good times tho

[@PhoenixPhire22]

Wasn't there also a Pirates version of this as well?

[@PhoenixPhire22]

I had this game... It was awesome. Also had Fireball Island (which I don't think we ever played correctly cause we got it used with no instructions), and the Return of the Jedi game. I LOVED that one... I played the game before I ever saw the movies but I couldn't wait to watch Return of the Jedi for the pit... disappointed that part was so short but anyway. Another gimmick game I had was Tower of the Wizard King... I remember being amazed by the tower when I first got it lol.

[@RetroToyReview]

The game is Battleground: Crossbows and Catapults

[@michaeljameskeating1348]

The balls are red to help them standout more if they get lost or roll under a table or something. A good colour choice actually.

[@bradley310000]

it was the song at the beginning when the retro toy review pops up with the the yellow behind it

[@MrHunterseeker]

they were red/bright orange to make them easier to find, because they knew kids would be shooting them all over the place and you can't find dark colors when you shoot them. When you lose all your balls because they are a dark color, the games over. I loved this game and have been thinking about trying to find it. Does anyone know of any other games like this one that have you shooting at targets? I remember this one used to be so much fun.

[@graphicartdude]

Is this game better than Battleground's Crossbows and Catapults? I loved the 80's version of the C & C game as a kid. I'm thinking about getting it for my nephews, though I'm now wondering if this Weapons and Warriors game is better. Anyone?

[@SwankeyMonkey]

I loved Crossbows and Catapults while growing up. I wished I still had it, and it seems to be better than this newer Weapons and Warriors version if I compare my recollection to all that I've seen of W&W. But it may just come down to your preferred battle theme.

[@nickthetrex]

They need to relaunch weapons and warriors!

[@bradley310000]

i think it is 1985 but just making sure

[@DeNamETae]

@RetroToyReview What was the game that the commercial at 2:15 was for??

[@thegamegod666]

the battle balles are red so u can find the little fuckers after u fire them and most of the time u still cant find them.

[@bradley310000]

what the theme song at the beginning of the video I really liked it and want to buy it on iTunes

[@kikeaguilar1695]
