OUtside or competition games: Redlight greenlight, dodgeball, & POGs & yes I still have my collection somewhere too .  Now you're talkin my kinda games!

POGs, my daughter still has her collection. Lego's , always a favorite, Brat. But as a child of the late 60's early 70's we were always outdoors, riding bike, rollerskating and skateboarding. Lot's of sunshine and exercise.

Sooo true!  #1 Christmas present back then-bicycle,lol.  I also got Jamie Somers (still have her).  Funny story my lil one fond my old toy stash and was amazed.  Then she went to the net to watch Thundercats, Bionic woman,  Wonder woman.   rof!! .

Now she like converting kids in droves to give up the "junk shows" and relive the justice league, wonder twins.  Then they had a sleepover and they're all out in the big room talking about how "they're" (<--reminicent of 'the man' ) hiding all the good cartoons from them, and without "Avatar" they 'd be wasting their time.

I mean picture a room full of 6-10 year olds in sleeping bags discussing the conspiracy of tv  &  commercials to hide all the good shows like tom & jerry & bugs bunny that teach them how to be smarter...My Lord I was in my room trying to hide the hystrical laughter in my pillow.


I fully will hold myself responsible for any renewed interest in the "good  ol cartoons".

That is just Great DaSpecial1!!! I can picture it... ! How about spending the ENTIRE Saturday at the theater for one price..a buck? All those cartoons! Then Godzilla and Godzuki!!! Good times.....

[DaSpecial1]

Oh too funny we had a debate recently (kids & I) about whether godzilla was male or female.  Then the one where godzuki jumps over the tail, and the lil puffs of O-rings when he was practicing the ray, rofl !! I think you appreciate those scenes more as a parent.

[hawnsimmer]

I think Godzilla was a male, just the way he carried himself, ya know? But then again he/she was patient with Godzuki...Oh! Mothra!!!! And the twin girls? Don't recall their names at the moment. 

Operation was a good game, but made me nervous....

But it was fun.

I used to be outside playing Baseball from sun up to sun down when I was a kid.

TV was something that the grownups watched. Except for Saturday morning when we would watch all of those great learning cartoons that Dasi showed the kids.

*Be careful with that Dasi. The conspiracy police might show up at your door*

That's both the funniest and the most awesome thing I've herd all week.


My favorite board-game was Hero Quest http://pacificcoast.net/~greg/HeroQuest.jpg

And my favorite outdoor dame was 40/40 http://www.playgroundfun.org.uk/GameRules.aspx?gameID=739
I also loved Spotlight, which was basically 40/40 in the dark with torches.

Ok...Forgot, jacks, hopscotch and an unnamed game where you take a deck of a cards and line up 10 of the cards against the wall, in an angle, with the remaining cards you throw and fling them at the angled ones, trying to knock them down. The winner is the one with the least remaining cards standing. Exciting, yeah?
