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 teh 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 teh cars were smaller and it had a JUMP!!!!! and you could spin teh cars to change direction! Then ther was teh 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.

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
I wasn't allowed expensive toys.
I made do with Pooh Sticks. Oh, and a second hand Tressie Doll with the growing locks.

Re: toys of the 70's and 80's
A Girls World rindy that was called because i had the one with brunette hair and my niece had one with blonde hair. I also had a bionic woman as well until my niece lost all the bits out of her. Tiny Tears until my niece tried to dye the hair with her felt tips and draw tattoos on her.
