Comments left:	I'm using this page to mark the 50th anniversary of two Remco games based on the frantic music/dance shows on TV at the time, both trivia games. First, the Hullabaloo Electric Teen Game (based on the NBC series). The questions and answers were printed on black and yellow paper records, and those came in a sleeve with game rules printed. A D-size battery was needed to power a set of probes connected to a light bulb. The bulb should have lit if question was correctly answered. The second game was the Shindig Teen Game (based on the ABC series). No battery needed for this one. Players drew from a deck of 240 trivia cards. Answer correctly, place a marker on a scorecard. The first player to complete a row of marked spaces (seven) won the round. The Hullabloo game's paper records (12) had 10 questions on each side, a total of 240 questions. One record had all Beatles questions! Remco released a Lost In Space board game in 1966. Only a few thousand were made, and that is a rarity today.
