Battleship and Operation in 1972

Philip Reed October 11, 2015

Milton Bradley gets some great coverage in this 1972 newspaper ad for K-Mart stores. Both the Battleship (Amazon.com search*) and Operation (Amazon.com search*) games were ones that I played as a kid, and seeing this ad from the year that I was born drives home just what classics these are. And how old I am. Get off my lawn!
