Anyone remember playing KILLER: The Assassination Game back in the 80s?

Anyone remember playing KILLER: The Assassination Game back in the 80s? It became a phenomenon in my high school with about 30 of us playing it fairly obsessively for several months. My most memorable "kill" was getting to class early one day and taping two D batteries and a wire to the chair of the kid who sat in front of me. He sat down and I passed him a note that said, "BZZT! You've been electrocuted." He wasn't happy, but appreciated the ingenuity. Locker bombs (piles of packing peanuts that tumbled out when you opened your locker) ended up being what drove the principal to ban the game. Somebody always has to go too far.
