A very early Parker Brothers game (often mentioned in histories of the company), Battle of Manila is a Spanish American War boardgame with chromolithographed box lid and board with Manila Bay, 15.5" x 19.5" x 2" high.

Unlike today's heavily detailed "conflict simulations", this game apparently mainly involved hitting soldier targets on a board with hand held cannons firing wooden "bullets".

This game did help cement Parker Bros. reputation as a patriotic American company, helping sales and its image with the American public.
