Big Weirdo Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 What was your favorite toy or board game as a child? I gotta say I used to love playing Mouse Trap. Although the trap never worked because I couldn't build it right. But I used to love pretending I was good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I wore a basketball down until the outside was as smooth as glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistymjohnson Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 LEGO's hands down. I can build anything :laugh: Oh... You would have loved Block City in Niagara Falls. I took my son there. It was like walking into Lego Land or something. A single Polish man built the entire setup himself. It included the taj mahal, statue of liberty, golden gate bridge, sears tower, and a picture of marily monroe... All made of legos. There was so much more... But I couldn't possibly state them all here. Oh... And there were something like 10+ trains running on tracks (all of which was made from legos). My son loved it! And even I had take a step back and look in amazement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rictus58 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Does an Atari 2600 count? I've got that beat. I had Atari 800! http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8BITS/400800/ATARI800/A800.html You could play games on Floppy disk, cartridge, AND Audio tape.

PleaseBlitz Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Anything Star Wars. I had a ton of Star Wars toys. I went directly from my GI Joe phase into my firecrackers phase. The 2 didnt mix very well. Taping a bottle rocket to Topside as a jetpack was fun, until he exploded 70 feet off the ground. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrapeApe Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Depends on age. But probably my bike, basketball or skate board. Some others: slot car racing, electric (vibrating) football, those little hand held blip sports games (football and basketball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'd have to rank "Risk" and chess as my favorite board games. Heck, I still play them both today if I get a chance. Favorite toys would be Transformers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallntfox Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 We used to spend hours playing that Tudor electric football game...the one with the vibrating playing field where you'd line all the players up and then hit the juice...the players would never go where you wanted them to go. Especially cool was the QB with the arm on a spring that you could use to launch the little felt or magnet "footballs" ..I can't tell you how many of the early Super Bowls were decided on a vibrating sheet of metal on my bedroom floor...

Goaldeje Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I enjoyed "Sorry" quite a bit. Something about the sarcastic "sorry" you have to say as you crush someone's hope of winning... Oh, got a little carried away there, sorry. :paranoid: Umm, I also liked Jenga, and the Jumanji board game is pretty cool. Our kids love that.
