Commercial for 1970s game: "Ball Buster"

By at 12:05 pm Wednesday, Aug 8

Picture 7-12 Announcer (who sounds like he's polished off a couple of hi-balls): "The name of the game is Ball Buster. It's a family game. Fun for children." And for adults it's exciting. You make strategic offensive and defensive movements. Then try to bust your opponents balls."

Soundtrack is a screwball version of "The Entertainer. The game must've come out at the same time as The Sting. Link

This was actually featured (or contained really) in a song entitled "Getting Ahead in the Lucrative Field of Artist Management" by James Lavelle and DJ Shadow - known at the time as UNKLE
