Does anyone remember a ball that had a bunch of spikes on it. As I remember these spikes were used to grab, and throw the ball. You also tried to catch the ball using the spikes. The ball was about the size of a large melon, I believe. I told some one about this and they just thought I was strange. Please tell me if anyone remebers it. It may have even been a Nerf product. And while we're on subject, does anyone remember Wheel-O from Wham-O. This toy was simple, yet fun. My inlaws have one of these toys, and I just can't put it down. The little magnetic wheel has me captured. I'm a Wheel-0-holic. Scott 'The Wheel' Stewart LMSC - Sunnyvale

The toy was called "Red-Eye", and had one of its spikes colored red. As I remember, the object of the game was to throw and catch the toy, avoiding the red spike. I can't recall who made it, though. -- Tim Olson

It was a yellow rubber ball with rubber spikes, in case anyone gets any strange ideas about playing with maces. It had 2 red spikes on it, with the rest being yellow. The object of the game was to catch the ball by grabbing onto the red spike. -- Alan Steinberg {ucbvax}!decwrl!amdcad!cae780!alan "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred..." -- Super Chicken
