Mechanical Maze Game

xtepo

I've been wracking my brain for ages on this one. Does anyone remember a game in the early 90's where you have to guide little balls around a maze using just one button. It was yellow and the maze was completely enclosed in glass (probably plastic) so you couldn't cheat. I'm sure there was a red version too where you went up and down and which was far more complex. Anyone have any idea what they were called?

It was out around the same time as screwball scramble. but was about half the size and only one button to control it. there was also another button to release the next ball. it went along a snaking route from top to bottom stopping at little holes in the track where you had to hit the main button to make the ball hop onto the next obstacle (there was moving platforms, see-saws, and rotating platforms) once past one of the opstacles the ball would meander on to the next where it would stop at another little hole in the track. there was a timer and you had to get all 5 balls to the goal at the end before the time ran out.

Mouse Trap?

mousetrap was a boardgame, this was a timing based maze/puzzle game that ran on batteries

sounds a bit like the tomy pocketmate maze game?

it was less a maze and more an obstacle course. there was only one route which the ball went down by itself (well gravity). it was all about the timing of when you made the ball hop out of the pot-hole like places on the track where the ball stopped and onto a mechanical obstacle as opposed to through a maze.
