Bull's-Eye Ball

Bull's-Eye Ball is a compact electronic skee ball style game manufactured by Hasbro through its Tiger Electronics subsidiary, built into a handheld unit roughly the size of four stacked soda cans so that it can be played anywhere without the space a full size arcade skee ball machine requires. Players load small steel balls into the device and use an elastic diaphragm to bounce them up into a narrow scoring inlet, earning points for each successful shot much as they would on a traditional boardwalk skee ball machine. The game offers three separate play modes: a 30 Second Blitz mode that rewards scoring as many points as possible before time runs out, a 25 Point Rush mode that challenges players to reach a target score as quickly as they can, and a Bull's-Eye Ace mode that scores players on the percentage of their shots that land as a direct bull's-eye. Hasbro released several follow up editions, including Bull's-Eye Ball 2 with an added Target Master mode, a Bull's-Eye Ball Platinum edition, and a baseball themed variant called Bull's-Eye Ball Baseball, and the toy was marketed in Germany under the name Hot Shot.
