Retro 80s kids game??

[BRADDY]

Hi,
im trying to find out a name of a game when i was wee kid in the mid 80s.
The game revolves around king kong, or some type of monkey. Alittle bit like screwball scramble , but u had to get a small metal ball up a towerlike wall. i remeber there was part of it where the ball would go up by itself using magnets. The tower itself was yellow, with cardboard kong at the top

any help would be greatly appreciated

So to clarify, are we talking a real game here or a computer one?

lol yeah i deleted my original post cos i wasnt sure....


I think it a game called Crazy Maze.....mum dad and me still play it at xmas its bloody ace I tell thee....I will take a picture of the box when im next at me mums

it was all done using gravity and magnets etc you had to get the little ball all the way round the maze in the quickest time....very clever little game that would still stand up well today....think its a bit of a collectors item now

yeah, its a actual game. the tower was made to look like a mountain, it had a flat face with a picture of the montain. had steps to go up and other things to avoid. the metal ball had to make its way to the top. it made loads of noise when it was turned on.
