Hey, I need to ask the older crowd here a question. Thinking about it this may not be the right section, but I need as much exposure as possible to find the answer.
Ok, when I wasa SMALL kid I went to the bars alot with my dad. He was on a pool league.
It was a nickel skill game. The play field was several ramps and launchers.
You dropped a nickel in from the top. and it sat on the top ramp. you controlled a spring powered launcher to roll the nickel to a slot in the ramp to drop ot the next ramp. How ever, there where holes in the backboard the nickel could fall through. So it was a skill game. You had to put just enough spring in the launcher to get the nickel to the slot, otherwise sometimes too much there was a hole in the backboard, too soft there might have been a hole in the backboard. I got harder as you went down.
I only once made it all the way. Since it was so cheap, my dad gave me alot of nickels to play:)
Anyone play it? have any idea what it is? Any idea where I could find it?

Try digging through this site...you might find one (I saw something similar to what you described only with a penny instead of a nickel
