Have you ever wanted to fend off a dive-bombing Dick Dastardly-style character? Probably not, but you will when we tell you how incredibly hilarious Loopin' Louie is. And no, you won't have to join Vulture Squadron, find medals for Muttley or go anywhere near one of Clunk's contraptions. What you will have to do, however, is stop Loopin' Louie from scaring chickens off your barn by furiously hammering a plastic lever.
Confused? You should be because this mindless masterpiece is even sillier than fast-paced classics such as Hungry Hungry Hippos and Mr Mouth. And that's saying something! The idea is to protect your chickens (well okay, plastic discs) from an insane Boris Badenov-esque aviator. Allow us to elaborate: a battery-powered motor rotates a boom arm with a little plastic plane on the end. So far, so surreal. Each player controls a lever, which is used to bash the out-of-control plane away from the chickens balancing on their barn roof. The last player with any chips (sorry, chickens) remaining wins. Simple as that.
We know it sounds childish and inane - and it is. But believe us, once you've played it you'll be unable to stop because Loopin' Louie is seriously addictive, especially if you and your friends have downed a few pre-flight cocktails.
Granted, frantically bashing a lever doesn't require much skill but a well-timed hit will send Louie into manic spins and loops (and hopefully into someone else's barn). And if you nail the plane really hard, it sometimes stands vertically for a few agonizing seconds before swooping into an opponent's farmyard. But beware: slamming your lever too hard can actually knock off your own chickens. And there's nothing worse than losing a game of Loopin' Louie. Well there is, but right now we can't think of it. So bombs away and get ordering before this brilliant little game flies off the shelves and crashes into the barn marked 'Out of Stock'.

I used to have this game as a kid, and it is seriously the bomb.
Get it now.

This game I think is just as much if not moreso for adults than children. It is terribly addictive for me and my friends. I bring it out at parties and people can't get enough. One of the best games out there!

Bought this as a stocking filler for my almost 10 year old and he's had more fun with this than the PS2 this Christmas! So simple but great fun and guaranteed whoops and hollers from all players. There's a definite skill too - whack Louis at just the right moment and pulverise the opposition who think it's just a game. Brill.

Wow, am I thrilled to see this?!! If you want to add a bit of a competitive edge to this try it as a drinking game with schnapps forfeits, it's surprisingly hard with hampered-reactions! (fond memories...!).

I got one of these for my 9th birthday (I'm 19 now) and I remember being able to hit the plane JUST right so that it hits the person next to you. Every time. You had to hit the back end or something. Still great though.

Brilliant game ! Ive been searching for no less than FIVE years for this since my nephew loves mine so much and I can't bear to give it away (Even though I'm 21, its still addictive). A MUST have !

#1 on my wishlist, this is a classic in belgium !
Stijn Mortelmans, Belgium - Jul '06 |
I played this game when I was much younger and yes it is stupidly addictive after a few goes. Come on, flying goggles on please and lets get those chickens! (It reminds me of that cartoon: catch the pigeon).
