Loved Crossfire. Sure I saw online that you could still get a newer version today...and the 50+ year old me was tempted!

 

It was a bit noisy 😄

My first thought when I saw the thread. I still have my kit from around 45 years ago. A good mate has recently been building a set using the new digital Scalextric but I've not had a chance to visit for a shot. He says it's light years ahead. It takes me ages to clean off and set up even a small track with my old analogue one. 

 

I'll see your Operation and raise you Mouse Trap for extra fiddliness.Mouse-Trap-Original-147.jpg

Boy in my class could rattle through it in no time


Saw a video on FB of a kid juggling 3 of these and solving them whilst juggling them!!!!

Just bought my youngest one. Most I could manage as a kid was 5 sides.

Makes you sick eh ?!

 

Think I got 3 sides once but I never knew how I got there and I've tried following instructions- still couldn't make head nor tail out of it

I had this one, which I think I still have, if not I only chucked it a couple of years ago. The only toy from childhood I kept other than my SW stuff 😁

 

 

 

*just remembered I also had the pac-man one.

Me and my mate Ted used to play a full round of first div fixtures every weekend. Had a league table and everything

I’ve never seen that one before. 
One thing I remember about all those arcade games whether handheld or coin-op was how ****ing hard as nails they were :lol: 

Defender being maybe the hardest arcade game ever.

Was just going to post the Astro Wars one. 

 

Was talking about it with the missus last year and she ended up buying it for my birthday.  Great fun, but actually a lot easier than I remember it being!

Flight Deck Cover Artwork


I begged my Mum for this. You had to land a plane on a bit of plastic with a band stretched across it. Fired it up some fishing line and it turned/came in for landing. It looked great on the telly but was bored after 5 minutes

Remember getting this for Christmas but would have to look up how different it was from Ludo. Looks like the same concept
