CROSSFIRE!



FreddieW, thank you for revisiting the most awesome, epic toy that every kid begged their parents for in the eighties. And he didn't do a simple tribute, he hired the damn Steel Panthers to cover the classic Crossfire song. If you're not familiar with the tabletop game called Crossfire, check this sh** out.



Thats right...Metal balls, an insanely over the top commercial and one of the most catchy product theme songs during that era. That theme got stuck in your head, and wouldn't let go. This product was an example of the genius of eighties marketing, because the game sucked complete ass in retrospect..But sold well thanks to the amazing advertising campaign which made it look irresistible. I learned that lesson the hard way.
