Gomer Pyle game (1965)

The Six Million Dollar Man: Bionic Crisis boardgame by Parker Brothers, 1975. The goal was to gather the pieces for a bionic circuit to determine a path to the goal. That reminds me a bit of the Atari 2600 game “E.T.” (find three pieces of the phone and get back to the landing pad) for some reason, but Bionic Crisis requires a bit more brainwork to figure out the path.

Never saw this before!
