It had a playing field a foot or two across. Each player had guns that shot marbles (ball bearings) at a target you had to push to your opponents side. My Brother got that for Christmas when I was about 5 or 6 (He ALWAYS had the cooler toys!! ) We LOOOOOOOVED that game! There's a more modern one called Cross Fire but it looks much smaller and probably not as fun. If anyone sees a BATTLE BALL game for sale anywhere, let me know.
