I remember 2 versions- one where it just vibrated and another that had two sticks with magnets at the end. Each person could control one player magnetically, at least until the sticks crossed.

my Uncle (who isn't that much older than me) used to plasy this game for hours. Every time a Saint player would leave he would paint the new name on the uniform. Like someone said earlier; a rush of great memories filled my head.

RIP Mr Sas. You brought a lot of happiness to little boys evey where.
