No idea why I've thought of this now, but I'm trying to find pictures or videos of a "board" game I used to have. I thought it was called dog fight or something like that, but searches of dog fight only bring of some WWII game.
This board game was set up with two joystick-like contraptions facing each other that you loaded with marbles. There were two players each player having 1 joystick. When you pulled the trigger of the joystick, a marble (red plastic ball) would drop from the top of the joystick out a chute at the bottom of the joystick, and bounce off a little fabric trampoline onto the game board. The game board consisted of multiple plastic spaceship/aircraft balanced on poles, and the goal was to "shoot down" your opponents aircraft. I believe the aircraft were purple for one player and orange for the other.
Heres a quick picture of what it looked like. Orange joystick missing. Supposed to be bouncing a ball off the trampoline to go over your own aircraft and shooting down your opponents. You could control the angle the marble would hit the trampoline at to aim.
If you know the name of this game, please let me know.
Thank you.

edit: after a little searching around and memory jogging, I think the game might have been called "Top Dog"
This has not helped me at all in my search to find some pictures or videos of the game, so it might be wrong. However, I'd say I'm about 70% certain the game was called Top Dog.
