Electronic pong games are selling faster
than Lincoln stores can keep them in
stock.
Describing them as the "hottest idea of
the year," Mark Tate, Montgomery Wards
of Gateway s&leman, said customers may
choose from a bigger selection of electronic
games this year.
Customers buy a remote control panel
that can be wired to any television set.
Various games can be played depending
upon the model chosen.
Tate called the APF TV Fun, which
sells for $79.95, the "best for your
money." He said Wards already has sold
about 209 of them this Christmas season.
Sold out
Wards is sold out now, but manufactur
ers have promised another shipment before
Christmas, Tate said. .
Four games can be played with the APF
model, which has amateur and professional
settings giving the players a choice of ball
angle and speed.
. Sears at Gateway also sold out of the
electronic pong games, sells four telegames
ranging from $59 to $99, saleswoman
Diane Adkins said. More pongs and super
pongs are expected between Dec. 10
through 15.
Some 130 games will be shipped and
there was a 90-name waiting list last week,
another Sears representative said. Brandeis
is also expecting a shipment of 30 games
and also has a waiting list, said a Brandeis
salesclerk. ;
Electronic games
Adkins said adults are buying the
electronic games for their families.
The Odyssey 300 is in stock at Penny's.
This three-game model sells for $59.88.
Another popular family game Is Jaws,
which is sold out in all the stores mention
ed. Salesclerks said more have been ordered
but they added that the understocked
manufacturers , are making no promises.
Using a boathook, players attempt to
Players .are eliminated when the jaws
snap shut and the last survivor wins the
games.
Other popular games are the $6.99
Super Toe and Super Touch, according to
J.C. Penny's saleswoman Janet Hanaway.
Those also are now sold out.
Football gsarses
Players hit the plastic football or basket
ball depending upon the game.
Adult party games are in stock, but
most aren't selling well, according to
Brandeis stationery department head .
Dor thy Benton.
She said backgammon is beginning to
sell. Brandeis offers various sets costing S8,
$20, or $35.
Master Mind, a new game, is also start
ing to sell, Benton said.
Cunning and logic
Those playing this game of "cunning
and logic" try to break the hidden code in
volving different colors and the number of
peg board holes.
The $10 Master Mind box warns that
"unless you have a mpti brain, itnsy be
psychologically dangerous to play the
Super Master Mind until you have played
the simpler version."
Nebraska Bookstore also has a selection
of adult party games. The DevU Made Me
Do It game sells for $6 and is a version of
strip poker that may be played one of two
ways.
Playing pieces are included for the
cautious, but the curious are urged to play
with pieces of their clothing.
Other party warmers include Seduction
and Compatibility both selling for $7 as
does Chug-A-Lug, the ""drinking party
game."
