Wow, this is pretty amazing. Many thanks to thejadefalcon for offering up so many games at once. (And of course, thanks to everyone else who contributes games to make this site what it is.) This must explain the sudden large increase in my available points. ;) I only joined the site last week, so I didn't know its birthday was coming up. Happy birthday, and many more to come! :)

No words are needed, for you are my Bean Bag Buccaneer.

here we go again :D.
Bean Bag Buccaneers is a two player children's game, the object of which is to pick up your treasure chest on the central island and sail back safely.
Each player has a giant sailing ship as their main game piece. Each ship has a removable sail, two trigger-action side panels, and a huge spring-driven cannon. Players take turns moving forward along a prescribed track and shooting bean bags at their opponent's ship. A hit on one of the side panels will force it to pop off and give the player a free shot at the other side; a hit forcing the sail off becalms the ship for a turn.
To add to the pirate flavor, each player also has an eye patch. Wearing these will slightly affect depth perception and add a marginal bit of sport to the shooting.
This game retailed for the somewhat impressive sum of $16 back in 1962. With its huge plastic ships (close to a foot long), giant vinyl play mat, and the eye patches, it may well stand as one of the more overproduced games of the early 1960s.

No no no no, you're all doing it wrong!
I am an Austrian mathematician and astronomer who got himself taken on as an assistant to Brahe in order to get access to his planetary tables. I had been trained as a Platonist and Neopythagorean, and am given to rather mystical views, as exemplified in my work Mysterium Cosmographicum. Nevertheless, I am also a confirmed Copernican. In fact, I wanted to use Tycho's data to prove the validity of the Copernican theory. I analyzed the vast amount of data upon Brahe's death. From this data, I prepared new planetary tables (called the Rudolphine Tables). At first, I determined the shape of planetary orbits to be ovoid, but rejected this result for aesthetic reasons. Going back over my calculations, I found and corrected an error. The new shape turned out to be an ellipse, which fit well into my Pythagorean views on nature.
