Retro Toy Chest: Toss Across (1969)

Even when Tic Tac Dough & Hollywood Squares were on the air, people still played ordinary Tic-Tac-Toe with a pen & paper.

Ideal Toys changed all that 50 years ago with Toss Across, in which you used bean bags to complete the tic-tac-toe vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Today, with Ideal long out of business, Mattel owns the rights.

This ad dates back to at least the early 70's, and is narrated by actor Mason Adams.
