I remember the only tournament I ever did, and it wasn't even in the US lol. I played in some Japanese tournament when I was stationed over there. Yeah, needless to say, my language skills weren't up to par enough to get me past the first round.  :D

Ahhh Magic. I had never seen magic until I was like 19 and two of my friends at the time were players. They showed me how to play and it was interesting for about a week. Then I went back to not playing again.

Pogs were sweet. I had some sweet slammers. That was back when yo-yos made a come back for a while. What about those sweet slap bracelets that were made out of metal and could slice you if the cover came off. Good times.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles FTW. I at this very moment have the theme song as my ring tone. Oh the memories Splinter, Shredder, Krang, Beebop, Rocksteady, Backster Stockman, The Neutrinos, Casey Jones, April O'Neil, The Foot Clan, Dimension X, The TetraDome, Pizza, Sewerskates. Sorry about that I could go on for days.

Stretch Armstrong.

That is all.

 :D

Seriously though, I don't know how many of those I broke just to see what was inside.

OH MY GOSH! I remember those! Totally forgot about them until just now...Wow. I liked straightening them out...or at least trying to get them to go straight for a time...and then they'd snap back and smack my fingers really hard...Painful. But fun....

Oh yeah those were the days. It was fun to get them straight and then walk up to someone and smack them with it. Always good for a laugh.

I have fond memories of Skip-It, Rock'em Sock'em Robots and there was another toy I can't remember the name of. It was three sticks, you held two of the sticks and had to dance the third stick around between them.

I also enjoyed skip-it and the stick game but I too forget the name. What about Kerplunk and Dont Break the Ice or even Mouse Trap.

Those were indeed fun games, but my all-time top board games/strategy games in that respect are Crossfire and The Omega Virus.

Dang, now I'm going to have to hunt down the name of that stick game, it's bugging me.  :)

Never played Kerplunk, but Don't Break the Ice I've definitely played....And Mouse Trap...Fun games...And I think i'm going to google that stick game. I know what it is, but I can't think of the name...

Good searching skills there! And I always saw people on the quad in college messing with those and juggling things while walking between classes. Every time I saw them I was in a rush. Wish I would have made time now to stop by and ask for tips or something.
If it's not on fire, it's usually a software problem.

Oh no definitely not. I will tell you that I did own a set and they weren't as fun as they looked. I mean come on now. Its just three sticks. Go out side and find three sticks and bounce one around with the other two and there you go.

No this next thing isn't old but it is sweet, anyone ever seen an IndoBoard???
