Dizzy Bug

[Buzz]

Does anyone remember Dizzy Bug?

You had these wind up (I think) bugs that you let go in the middle of the board and round the edge were holes for them to land in.They would spin until they went into a hole . Think you got so many points depending on which hole it went into.

Remember having my first doubts about Father Christmas in the late 60's because "he" had brought me two of them.

Re: Dizzy Bug

I will.. sad hair and all. I borrowed the albums to scan some pics of a few things I had in the 70's that I can't name, but my mother did not bring the right albums,so this will have to wait.I did,however discover I had the TV21 Lady Penelope remote control car in 1967,and not the early 70's as I thought

Re: Dizzy Bug

no not like them , it was quite small toy, run by batteries,
