Just like the old shell game

Two things: look closely at the pictures, box 1 shows 3 items, box 2 shows the wall adapter, box 3 shows a retractable USB cable.  Ok, go back and look at box 1-it shows a different style of USB cable.  Just like the old shell game.  I received the wall adapter, the car adapter and the box 3 USB cable.  And, of course the micro end of the USB cable doesn't fit my SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 4 gig MP3 player.  But who is going to screw around for with a refund for so little money.  By the way, I did complain to Amazon about the third party's mailing label-it's directed to you or whoever is the "current resident" at your address and it boldly shows your area code and phone number for all to see-the number you gave Amazon-hope it wasn't unlisted.  Think about this purchase from this seller before you click it.

I picked up this toy thinking nostalgically about playing as a kid, but it turns out both my 5 and 2.5 year old have enjoyed this game for many months. Unlike some other toys that were popular in the 70s, and remade now as a shadow of the earlier toy, this toy is pretty faithful to the original.  It is a little tricky for the kids at first, but the cardboard cutout which goes in the pants does help deflect many of the ants into the pants (was not part of the original, to my recall).  This game is loads of fun, and depending on how motivated your child is with such physical challenges, they could play this game for quite a while.

Just fun. It is fun for the family. With all the shooting games it is nice to have an alternative. We had this game a few years ago but lost it. We enjoyed having it again.

I loved the old style board game, it was just like the one we played with my grandmother! Fond Memories!

A gift for my sister's 6th birthday. I was over-joyed because I had one when I was her age. I ended up decorating the crown, although I'm sure she could have handled it, I just think she wouldn't have thought to make a pattern to make it look nice.

Setting the game board up is a little hard. You have to remember how the colors go otherwise it won't fit just right. It's like a puzzle almost.

The jewlery is just like the classic game, simple and easy to take on and off. Yes it's cheap and that's a good thing seeing as how both my sister and I have forgotten to take off one piece well after we played the game. The jewlery even fit me at 22 so even us big kids can play!

There isn't much difference with this one and the original except you have a Cinderella themed board edges and clock tower. If the original is cheaper then get that one. It won't make a difference to the girl because the game is still the same.

The only downside was when we played with just two players it was hard to get rid of the clock tower (which you need to, to win). We would just end up going around and around the board either trying to get rid of the tower or trying to get the "take any piece" circle to get the crown. We ended up making it so that if you landed on the clocktower after you already have it you can put it back on the game board. I think with three or more players we could just keep circling but with just us we use that  cheat.

Another thing for us was when I tried to open one of the earrings it fell apart and this was the first time we played it. It didn't break, I just had to pop it back into it's tiny holes but it still sucked since it was a new game.

I recall the old version of this game being much hardier and durable. This one definitely won't make it through my kids. However, for the affordable price, you get all the entertainment and intrigue of playing Battleship.  As other reviewers have said, you have to be very conscious of keeping it upright and not tilting it, or else all your pieces will get scattered. I'd say it is worth the sale price ($11.99) but definitely not the original retail price listed on Amazon ($16.99)

Frogger has the exact same gameplay as the original. The only thing different about it is the graphics, the sound, and it has more levels. It is basically an updated version of the original. The graphics are pretty good. Everything in the game is colorful. The only thing that looks weird is when you look at the front of Frogger's face. It looks kind of messed up because he is made of polygons. The sound is pretty good as well. Except the buzzing of the flies that frogger can eat. That is a little bit annoying. That is why you want to eat them as fast as you can. The controls of the game are pretty simple and easy to handle. Its all on the arrow keys. Overall I think this game is a classic, and is fun to play. I recommend it.

We got this game for my 70 year old father for Christmas. He LOVES this game!  He wanted a game for the Wii that was like Duck Hunt.  I think we've found it!

As others have noted, there is not much variety.  It is what it is==and I don't believe they claim it is anything more.  It's a great game for the young and old.  In all honesty, I will say those in between will likely find it boring (as I do).  It is a simple game.  The world needs simple games though!  Yes it's mindless but sometimes mindless is great.

It's a good, old fashioned game.  It's fine for the young--the chickens are cartoonish and they always come back for more. It's great for the older players who don't want complicated--just something they don't have to think about.

My dad plays this game more than any other we have gotten for him.  It's his first go to game.  When people go to his house, he suggests that they need to play the game.  Oh, and I suppose I should mention how my mom's laughter at the name of the game, "Chicken Shoot", brings her to tears everytime (that naughty mom of mine--I didn't even think that until she brought it up!)

Others have suggested that the price would not be worth more than $20--and I would agree.  That is about what we paid for it..it seems the price is even lower now..I think it would be worth your $10 if you are looking for simple!

If you're old enough to remember playing this game on the original NES and getting issues if Nintendo Power in the mail just for the maps, congratulations. This game mostly just follows the monotmous cycle of go to town, kill monsters to get gold to buy better weapon, go to next town, get more gold to buy next better weapon.

This game is from back in the days where you knew how challenging a monster was, based on what color it was (is it a red slime or purple silme?).

Somehow, though the game is still compelling making you want to see just was in that next down, or what might be on the 4th level of that identical level cave.

The scant backstory allows your mind and imagination to fill in the blanks as to the hero's past and the villian's intent. Overall, the game is simple classic fun free from the excess that tends to weight down the modern RPG.

If you ever played the original Mario games on NES you will be fine playing this one. A lot of fun with a modern twist to an old time favorite.

Loved the original as a kid and my parents still have it.  This version is improved with all wooden pieces and boasts the same stellar gameplay.  Games only take about 45 minutes.  The only people that may not enjoy this game are people who are too nice, as much of the game focuses on killing your opponents' survivors.

The new rules include objectives and rewards and are a lot of fun.  The game moves faster, and usually seems to end quickly - compared to the 6 hour RISK games you may remember from the original.  Nice improvement!

A new take on an old game.  The packaging is what is most impressive, how this big game fits in this little package.  It is easy to play IF you read the instructions first so you see how the first pieces need to be played in order to for a playing base.  No batteries, all ages, fast learning curve.  Can be lots of fun for a group as everyone plays and it moves along quickly.  We never keep score, just enjoy the game.

I use to love playing this game whenever my friends would be telling me "here play this for a while" sadly it was always sold out whenever i went to buy it. I was happy to find it here and it will provide you with decent hours of fun. The sound bits in the game are ones from the old TV show so if you watched it when you were younger it will be a nice hit of nostalgia.

This is as close to the classic game I knew and played while growing up.  We enjoy playing it as a family.

Hours of fun for the whole family!  The same as the vintage game from years back.

This is the game I remember from my childhood, not the simplified, dumbed-down, and modified-for-people-with-no-attention-span version that's out there on the shelves now.  As such, I found this version very pleasant and refreshing.
