Who remembers the game Mousetrap?

I hated mouse trap with a passion. We never could get it to work right so basically it was like a wasted afternoon.

You spent a whole hour going through the game building this device which then never trapped your opponent. meaning that you just kept playing until someone gave up in disgust usually destroying the game in the process.
which of course, had the added disadvantage of making it even harder to build the stupid thing next time.
