I seem to remember there was an earlier game called "Mouse Trap" available in Sweden and Finland in the early 1980's. It did not use any fancy Rube Goldberg devices. Instead it had a spring-operated bar with a lot of disc-shaped counters holding it in place. The object was to remove as many counters as you can without causing the bar to spring out. Could anyone confirm this, and if possible add info to the article?

Mouse Trap is now totally different

This article refers to the game Mouse Trap as I knew it in my youth; however I strolled into Woolworths the other day and found Mouse Trap to now be a totally different game! It has three different mechanisms running together, or something, and seems to be made of much larger sections, rather than the fiddly parts of the game detailed here.

Does anybody know anything about this change and could they please update the wiki article?

OHH.... You build the trap DURING gameplay. We never had the instructions, so my sister and I always built the trap, then started playing. JimmmyThePiep 16:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
