Re: CHILDHOOD GAMES/TOYS

I remember test match cricket - didn't it take the best part of a week just to set it up for a game!!!?

I also remember blow football (which you could make yourself), and of course - SUBBUTEO!!! What an absolutely top game - the only problem being with it that you could buy so much stuff for it you could never keep up!

Star Wars action figures/craft/etc were absolutely HUGE when I was young, and I also remember lego being much more fun than it looks nowadays - you used to get a set with loads of pieces in it to make whatever you wanted instead of the piddly sets now where you can only make 2 or 3 things.

I used to have a 6 million dollar man - with the bionic eye!!, and I used to read the Beano, Dandy, Whizzer and chips and Nutty (remember bananaman?) when I could.

My fave board game was game of life, and I also remember hiding a scrable board game for about a year because it used to rub me up the wrong way!!!
