Re: toys of the 70's and 80's

Simon the thing that flashed lights in a specific order...

I still have my VIC 20 (forerunner to the C64) and my ZX81, (Pre spectrum days). YOu can get spectrum emulators for PC and other platforms (e.g. my flashy phone )

I remember the grandsatnd games well....

my record on the rubiks was 35 seconds, and I can still do it !!!

Stickle bricks are still about.....

I remember Hot wheels stuff and there was a challange to scalextric I can't remember its name bit the cars were smaller and it had a JUMP!!!!! and you could spin the cars to change direction!

Then ther was the Purple People Eater and others

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's

I remember my sister getting a bionic women doll with all these little microchip things and I was so jealous. I loved my Magic Roundabout toys and my wombles. Then there was my Caveman 'handheld' arcade game that was huge.
