childhood games, board or otherwise!

[unrulyjulie]

Ive just played pop up pirate with my son! Its a bit rubbish, poor mans Buckaroo!

What games did you love as a kid? Was there a game you always wanted but you never got,? Mine was operation!


My brother had the best ever game called whirley wheelers! I loved it but had to play with it when he was out of the house! :-( He hated me touching his things! lol

My best game was playing doctors and nurses with the gorgeous boy up the street.
When he was away I played Monopoly.

Was that when you were 16 Mrs O? Lol ;-)

I used to love playing with my little china tea set when I was about 7/8 and I loved reading Ladybird books. My mum gave my Ladybird books away so I'm trying to get some off ebay if I can.

Spirograph - I still have mine - with all the pieces too.

I have some old Ladybird books , I'm about to post on e-bay. What ones are you looking for ?

My bestest toys were ....

Lego
Monopoly
My Action man ...who lost his foot in a parachute incident. It failed to open from a bedroom window freefall.
However like the six million dollar man , I was able to rebuild him with the help of some airfix glue.
Had an uncle who worked at airfix ..so had a regular supply of kits to make ..oh joy

Best ever thing I had , was my Chopper bike.
It was one of the first and was Yellow with three gears. Stick shift ...just where you your man hood would land ...boy did I jump with pain ...
Had a long seat ...so I could take the gilr next door as a passenger. She would wrap her arms around me and off we would go ...damn she was only 10 ...I was just 33 ... only joking ...I was 11.
Wonder where she is now ? The chopper that is.

I know some one who has a whole collection of Ladybird books. I loved them when I was small. Especially the Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella ones and ROse Red & Rose White.
I would love to get hold of them again. I loved the pictures.
I had a BaffleBall. That kept me going for hours.
I had a game called Dizzy Bugs. You wind up some ladybirds and put them on a board to spin round until there was only one left on the board.
The game I always wanted was Mousetrap.
My husband has Monopoly set from the 1970's and its still in great condition.

[unrulyjulie]

me and my mate used to spend hours playing Yhatzee!

[gonzo00]

hay jules...fancy a game of twister??;)

[randyraven]

Mousetrap ..had it and it took ages to setup ...for the final 5 mins of fun
