They must be more modern.They are not, no. It's just that they aren't Mattel or Parker Brothers/Habro, which dominate the "crappy, low quality board game" space to the point that most people didn't even see other board games. Like, you couldn't go into a Toys R' Us and find anything by Eurogames even up to the point that they shut down all the stores, you had to go into a specialty store of some variety.
I used to have one like the crossbows and catapults but it was different, like a better castle that used rubber bands when hit would send your troops flying. One side had the castle and the other was going through a forest

Maybe not a mechanically great game, but boy was it ever fun to knock over the little dudes and blow apart the castle.

As stated in my post I was mostly playing board games in the early 1980s and mid 1980s. The stuff I was playing was mostly from the 1960s and a few classics from the 1930s with a 1948 and a 1974 in my list.My post was made before you made the edit, so calling that as a point is just silly. In addition if you remove the edit all you end up with is a list of super popular games that received remakes just about every decade for almost 100 years, so there is no reason to believe that you actually played the "original" (like, obviously not the actual original when you are calling the game "Monopoly" instead of "The Landlord's Game") instead of the prolific amount of remakes that happened.
So even though the games in the original post were from 1981 and 1983 they were very modern games that I wasnt aware of at the time. And the game you posted is from like 2000. So yeah, definitely more modern for my personal frame of reference.

Not really a board game but I have nostalgic memories of this.
You use the knobs and buttons along the bottom to control the various segments of the marble obstacle course.
Let me present to you the only reference this board game will ever have on GameFAQs:Is this an anti-Lorax meant to teach kids fossil fuels are good?
