I`m trying to remember the name of a game I used to have (1990`s). I thought my younger brother would like it (if I can find it!).
It`s a modern variation of `Battling Tops` (1970`s I think). The spinning pieces looked like robots and they came in a small case that converted into a `ring` to battle in.
Does anyone know what I`m talking about?! It`s stuck in my head and I`m slowly going crazy thinking about it!!
Thanks,
David

Neiliboy ,
It`s frustrating isn`t it!! My brain has melted!! It`ll come back to me I`m sure.
Marksparks999,
I think Beyblades is a more modern version of this again. It`s not the one I had.
I`m still searching through google - so I`ll update you if I find anything.
Cheers,
David

Do you remember the TV ads for this, where the child was asked the secret of sucess? To which he proudly responded in his annoying American accent, "It`s in the wrist action!"

I remember those, they were like an exact copy of the original Battling Tops I had as a kid. We got my son one a good few years ago, but I can`t remember the name of them now.

Hi Guys,
I`ve been off ill and haven`t had a chance to log on until now. STILL haven`t thought of the name!! I was hoping it would be here by the time I returned - so the pain in my head would go away!!
The search continues...
