Seaside Paints?

[Kiop]

I have memories, back in the 70s, of when I used to go on holiday to the coast there would be this stall on the pier or funfair where you would be given a square (or maybe round) piece of card on which you would squirt different coloured paints out of bottles. After you had done this, the person running the stall would then spin the card rapidly on this machine thing and the paint would fly about and make a pretty pattern on the card.

I used to love this when I was little and was intrigued at the complexity of the patterns produced, but my missus doesn't know what I'm on about. Can anybody else recall this kind of stall, and could anybody come up with a name for what it was called?

Thanks.

It says 'ages 4 -6' - PMSL.

I suppose that says a lot about our mentality .

Best of it is, I couldn't understand how to play the game - but that's what I'm like I'm afraid. Anything beyond left, right and fire button and I'm stumped!

How they ever work these x-box thingys with all those buttons is beyond me.
