Movie Maker was kinda like Monopoly except that (no surprise!) you collected cards that helped you make a movie. Film categories included Epics, Westerns, Horror, Comedy etc, and you needed actors, directors and location units to complete your movie. Great stuff, but haven't played it since my student days... which wasn't yesterday!

I don't... but was always heavy into Avalon Hill games... along with the 'classics' like Life and Monopoly.

only 6 votes for boardgames... guess it is a dying breed.  Grew up with them... and having got back into them... I've been reminded how great they are.

Oh and how could I forget....the freakin' superballs.  You really couldn't keep them more than a day, they were so wicked on the bounce.  Compressed rubber.  Throw them hard enough and they are gone.  Big smile

There was actually one we liked better, called an Itza-ball.  It was rubber and air-filled, really nice and grippy so you could throw the thing a mile.  It kicked butt on the Nerf actually.

Silverhawks- such an underrated cartoon / toy line that remained in the shadow of a very similar but more popular one...

I have literally spent weeks worth of time playing this game.
 
Oh, I remember playing that game for the first time when I was six.  It took me a week to get past the Deku Tree.  Now that I'm older, I can see why it's considered a masterpiece, but it's definitely too hard for little kids.

Yeah it took me way to long the first time. Now it only takes minutes. LOL

I voted for my bike. LEGO was also important for me, but not like my bike, at least at the age of 10, 11 or 12. After that, I had my guitar, my voice, my books and my brother. And the Stiga Ice Hockey Game. Do you remeber?

I played through most of that over the christmas holidays; first time I've given it a serious play since I was about 8 years old. Brilliant nostalgia right there.
For gaming nostalgia I'll also add the Spyro series, namely:



And all the others in the series.

It's the only UFO model I had. It was great though because as you know, it fired it's missile.

I remembr Action Man had real fuzzy hair at one time too.

My first Action Man was a  Space one. I had the model for Christmas and my [parents thought it included the Action Man...it didn't of course, so I had to wait for that.

This was it.
