Certain games are fun, despite the fact that they are essentially stupid. Looping Louie is just such a game. The idea of the game is simple. There is a small plane on a counterweighted arm. As the motorized base turns, the plane cruises around and around at the height of the four 'barns' surrounding it. If the plane comes in contact with one of the cardboard disks that stand atop the barn, it knocks them down. It is the player's duty to keep this from happening to his disks by whacking the underside of the plane with a teeter=totter situated just before the barn. If successful, the plane will be catapulted high above the cardboard disks, and hopefully will come to land in the neighborhood of someone else's disks.

That is essentially the whole game. Wait for the right moment, whack the plane, hope it doesn't do a nose dive into your barn and knock out your disks. Stupid fun, but much more emphasis on the fun than the stupidity. This has been marketed both as Looping Louie, which accomodates 2 to 4 players, and as Barn Buzzing Goofy, essentially a two player version with Disneyfied graphics. Both are in unnaturally short supply, but are well worth the cost. Looping Louie is by far the preferable edition, since it accomodates more players, but Goofy is definitely worthwhile.

Even adults can enjoy this game, and it can be played by young and old alike. Recommended.
