My great Aunty had one of these. She would let me play it when I was a kid in the 70's. Her's didn't have the plunger to launch the balls but a wooden rod to push the balls instead.

Hi, I remember this game. My grandfather bought it for me when I was just a little child. We used to play it together, Kids today don't know what these games are. To this day I don't know what happened to it. It seems to have dissapeared, along with my Mechano and Scale extrix racing games. Funny how you don't think of these games untill someone like yourself reminds us of them. Stay well, Bill.

Hi Bill -- you may find it interesting to hear that grip strength (which doctors use as a good indicator of frailty -- since no-one other than rock-climbers intentionally and specifically trains for it, so it is an excellent measure of aging and health generally) has very markedly declined over the last few decades, so much so that I think I recall reading that people in their 50s are scoring higher than to those in their 20s. Another interesting feature is that grip strength used to be markedly higher in the dominant hand compared to the other -- not true anymore in the young, apparently. I would not be surprised if this were related to well-known phenomenon of falling testosterone levels in first-world men -- it's something we're eating or drinking, probably, although spending all day indoors away from natural light can't be helping. (In regards to the latter, I meant that myopia barely exists until civilization arrives).

I loved mechano as a kid growing up in England but my folks could not afford much of it for me until one Christmas they bought a massive second hand set of it and hid it under my bed and I never found it until told it was there on Christmas day. They never could afford Scalextric but me retired at 73 can and I am thinking of buying a set.

I used to get second hand toys mostly off cousins, you should definitely get the scalextric set you always wanted 😀

Fascinating video. Thank you for investing the effort into making this. I found the video after encountering the phrase "mere bagatelle" and Googling what it meant ...

There's an old game where players roll polished rocks up an inclined board into ruts at the opposite end, usually by rolling them up the side into the curved back wall, just like a pinball plunger. I'm almost positive that it's called bagatelle, I can't find any pictures of this game so I wonder if I got the name wrong, but if you'd seen it you would swear it was the true ancestor of pinball. The rocks even roll down the board in a slow and wobbly way, like a pinball going through pins.

Hello Thank you for this. I'd like to make one with my kids. Would it be possible to upload video with some close-ups scanning the full board, or some still shots from the top and sides? If you're feeling generous, some measurements would be great as well. Cheers!

There's a road in Colombo, Sri Lanka called Bagatalle Road and it's believed that the name is derived from this game. Guess the British were gambling using it around this area.

Hi, I love the sound of this thing. Would I be able to get permission to use 1 second of the sound from this video in a song I’m making? Thanks.

@Hiltons Family Travels here is my music, it’s not finished yet, but it’s called “Arcade Dreams” and as the Bagatelle is historically important, it was nice to start the piece off with a recording of one! www.mediafire.com/download/148h05ax3gt39ef
