Description
One of my favorite toys from the 80's (and I just got a like-new one from ebay). Game consisted of a marble-sized ball bearing which you would navigate through a maze of 10 different obstacles (parallel bars, catapult, etc.) Each 'obstacle' had its own little control assigned to it-- a lever, button, etc. Ultimate goal was to navigate the course in under 60 seconds and ring the bell at the end.

This was one of my favorite toys ever. Got it for Christmas when I was in 3rd grade. Just found one in mint condition on ebay. Brings back great memories and now I get to share them with my sons.

Does anyone know the name of the vertical Run Yourself Ragged type game where you had one button that operated several things at the same time to propel the ball? You started at the bottom. You tried to get the ball up to the top where it eventually drops into the machine and rings a bell lands back at the beginning? It was battery operated and had a moving staircase, moving bridge, moving magnets and others I forget. It was like run yourself ragged in the way that you had to time your shots inorder to get to the next obstacle. Im googling all day long and cant find a clue of this games existence.

Ok I found it under the name Kongman. It had another theme when I owned it, but its a start.

Kongman is NOT the same thing. Kongman is tall, and Run Yourself Ragged is a flat obstacle course. The game was later sold under the names "Screwball Scramble" and "SNAFU".
