Magilla Gorilla (1964)

This is a spin and move game based on the 1964 cartoon show of the same name. In Magilla Gorilla, the protagonist spent his time languishing in the front display window of Mr. Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Mr. Peebles marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising company looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Mr. Peebles to return their money. Magilla ended each episode with his catchphrase, "We'll try again next week." The object of the game is to acquire Parrots, Cats and Monkeys which help to get you to the finish line instead of being returned to Mr. Peeples.
