Name of this barrel stacking game?

[hooperj]

I remember a game from the late 70's maybe early eighties.

You had to stack plastic barrels with various shapes on there tops and bottom (so that only certain barrels went together). Meanwhile a ball bearing would work its way down a zig zag path.

If left to its own devices the ball bearing would eventually reach the bottom and knock your stack of barrels over.

In order to prevent this you could shut a gate.

Any ideas what this games was called please, it's driving me nuts trying to remember.

Thanks.

Thanks very much, just googled it and found some pictures.

That is definately it. Funny though, now I know the name it doesn't ring any bells.

Thanks for your help.
