"Super Mario 3 on the original Nintendo.....only ever managed to get to the 8th world.
Totally hated the water world...think it was number 4."
I found my old games systems when tidying up at mums.
Going to try to play with them next weekend as I've arranged a mates retro game party at mine (everyone's bringing a retro game whether board or computer) etc |

"What was the game where u had to land a model aeroplane on a carrier deck.. lived it but can’t remember the name, it was that long ago  "
Super flight deck
Found my old one at mums and I've got it set up as we speak but I've added line so it comes from the top of the stairs and along the hallway to land.
My mate and his attention seeking mrs just visited and we played for a good hour while she stomped around saying we should grow up !! |

"We played out in the street mostly but if the weather dictated otherwise then fuzzy felt, plasticine and Lego were probably my favourites  "
I still make things with my son Lego and proper old Meccano is amazing |

She's just miserable and high maintenance, I'd say she was upset because her partner (my mate) was having fun and she wasn't getting the attention she thinks she needs ! Lol

I loved Cluedo and Monopoly, marbles, roller skates, skateboards, my clackers which got banned and my chopper.
Mousetrap was so funny, it always fell to pieces! |

I loved roller skates. The hardcore 4 wheeled ones with the rubber stopper in front used to organise competitions with my neighborhood friends.
Connect 4 was awesome and I loved Battleship! |

Yes. More infuriating than anything when you had been watching it load. Those blue and yellow lines sending you into a trance! |

Loved connect4, operation, kerplunk, buckeroo, mousetrap (Yes it did work if you were careful!), mechano, Lego, my evil kenevil wind up thing that never went more than 2 foot (the adverts for that were utter bollocks) and the odd game of monopoly. |

I had the Striker football game where you pushed their heads to kick the ball.
Odd how I hate football now, But prior my fave toy was a Johnny Seven Gun.
Awesomeness personified as a nine year old

"Anyone remember crossbows and catapults?
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT"
OMG YES! Still have half a set at my parent's. Loved it!! Such a good feeling when a flick of that catapult sent everything crashing down |

"The original Atari system with wood effect. My very first console. Happy days.
I had that too! The 2600! Still works! "
The 2600 was the 2nd model. Much smaller with a silver Streak along the middle. |

"Cross fire was great but the metal trigger was sharp so you always ended up with a cut or blister.
What h&s ? "
Was that the one with ball bearings inside a little plastic ring/collar type thing?! |

That's the one and two guns on swivels at either end and you loaded ball bearings into the gun to fire at the puck type thing to fire it into the goal |

Mind Trap, Trivial Pursuit and Chinese Checkers are probably the 3 games played most in my house.
Computer games wise, it was Monkey Islands and the Indiana Jones games on PC, and the athletics games in Atari |
