Going out for the evening with a bunch of mates armed with a six pack of eggs.

Trying to throw them through peoples' open kitchen windows while they were in the kitchen.

We were chased for a mile once but then nobody forty-something is going to catch a group of 14 year-olds.

Bump because I have found and brought back to life the Tomy TOMYTRONIC 3D "Tank Attack" game that must be 25ish years old.

In similar vein I have finally manged to link a toy I remembered having from about 1966, you begin to doubt your memory but google finally turned something up. These Batman and Robin figures were tiny and moved off a ball bearing. £65 on ebay...Probably half a crown for the pair back then.

Who remembers "Multipuzzle"? It's not a computer game. It's something my aunt bought us, my dad still has it in a drawer. It's a load of plastic shapes! :unsure:

I remember a playground game called "Murder Ball". It basically consisted of kicking a ball randomly around a tennis court painted on the playground. If you were the last person to kick the ball before it went of the court/playground then it was essentially 'fair game' to kick you until you could get off the playground. It was bloody terrifying to play but also strangely addictive.

I expect it would be banned today.

I had a Johnny Seven.

It doesn't seem politically correct now. You should have had a black lesbian doll with a realistic vagina.

While on holiday recently I saw one of these sets in a gift shop:

http://www.amazon.com/Kahootz-01001-S-Spirograph-Deluxe-Design/dp/B009VE38CI

I was thinking about buying it for nostalgic reasons for myself (my own teenagers would just look at it and laugh) until I saw that, presumably due to 'elf and safety', it now comes with 're-usbale spiro putty'.

In other words the little pins with the plastic heads have been superceded.

Incredible. How is one supposed to get a go when your brother is hogging it ... stab his hand with spiro putty?

Don't see these around much now (below) - we called them Cadgies, but that seems to mean something else nowadays ...

Mmmm... lamb tongues.

This is the modern equivalent. I'm trying to get hold of one for my daughter.
