(ICE) from 1988 to 2017.^[1] ICE began manufacturing CHEXX bubble hockey in 1982 and it quickly became one of the top-earning bar and arcade games of the 1980s. Enhancements to the game were added and it was renamed Super Chexx in 1988 and it continued to be popular in bars and arcades and received national acclaim during the Bud Light Bubble Boys tournament series from 1999-2001. In November 2017 Super Chexx was replaced with the Super Chexx Pro edition using enhanced electronics featuring a 5' LCD jumbotron and LED lighting.

These types of games are also known as bubble hockey, rod hockey, table hockey or dome hockey because of the long rods used to control the players and the distinctive dome or 'bubble' covering the playing field.

The game can be played by two opposing players who control all five hockey players and the goalie for their side (singles) or as a two on two game (doubles). Players control their five skaters with long rods that move in and out to bring skaters up and down the ice and spin 360 degrees. A knob is used to move the goalie from side to side. Each player also a 'boo button' to simulate sounds from the crowd.

• I ended up picking up a Super Chexx from the San Antonio area and used uShip to get it delivered. Ended up being around $1500 total. It is a cool black base one from 1999/2000 when the whole Bubble Boys Wayne Gretzky version was out there.

Even with the advances in technology and how far the gaming industry has come over the past 35 years years, there are still some games that have lasted through the test of time.
