Maybe it was regional, but I’d always seen this game named “Gulpin’ Guppies”
I never worried about the name…I always saw the picture and go ‘WANT!!!’ Anyone remember the little travel sized version of this game? That’s the one I’m most familiar with.
The mini version was the only one I’ve ever played. I didn’t even realize they had a big size.
I forgot how freakin’ LOUD these things were! We had one in grade school, but we only got to play with it when it was to cold to go out to the playground. I remember the trick wasn’t so much to lift the fish when it’s mouth was closer as it was to hook the little ball-on-a-string between the fishies lil tiny plastic teeth…
I LOVED this! It had the fish, the crabs and…..the………umm…….were they supposed to be frogs?
I remember being frustrated that I would get one then it’d open up or I’d go for one just as it closed… With my brother and I we’d spend more time batting each others poles out of the way than catching fish. This and the match the duck game were the loudest things in the house if I recall correctly, hehheh.
Oh my! This kind of makes me sad, now. My grandmother just passed away and we would play this while I was at her house. Man I would love to play that right now!
OMG, this game kept me amused for hours when I was a little kid! I had the travel sized version.
This game was great for kids like me that had no friends. Lol
Wow, I almost completely forgot about this game. That’s why I love this section. It’s always making me go “OH YEAH! I remember those!” x3 I also remember the travel version of this game.
That was a good game. I loved all the different colors.
My grandma still has this at her house from when we were kids. Every time we go there my kids head straight for it.
Yup, I remember the travel one, not the big one. I was SO BAD at it.
this game was so great. i still play it sometimes with my litle sister haha
This was mint! I kept loosing the fish though
OMG. I used to play this at my grandparent’s house when I was a kid all the time! My sisters, cousins, and I loved it.
The kids had one of these, It was called “Fish, Frogs and Prawns”. There were three types of critters to catch. What a great memory!
My grandma took bro, sis and I to Coney Island once, even though my mom told her not to. Well she let me play the BIG carney-sized version of this, and I dipped the pole in and won the JUMBO prize! I was so damn excited!
Once we came home with it, Granny had to ‘fess up that she took us to Coney Island.
ah, so many memories. I think i had a wind up version, sort of like a travel version, but it was so damn fun, and it sucked so much as RIGHT WHEN YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET THE FISH, it closes its mouth. TT~TT i miss that game. that and operation.
They still make this game, I bought one for my son last year, and it looks EXACTLY the same!
I HAVE THIS GAME STILL. Boy now that you mention it I can’t even remember getting it…
I still have mine back from the day it became a hand-me-down from my older brother, and I brang it to “Game Day” in Pre-School. I was the coolest four year old that lived.
I never played this in childhood. It was great fun to play in a college dorm room while totally drunk, though. Good times…
That kid is an idiot…
Doesn’t know the difference between orange and blue.
