Most of these listed I played with as well, yes even someone as ancient as me.....except the BB gun. It would be a cold day in you know what before my dad let me play with one of those!!

SIL,

I loved my light brite and I used to ride the dickens out of my sit-n-spin! And I bet I drove my parents batty with my Merlin.

My TT is also up.

I guess you didn't "shoot your eye out" with #9;-) I remember playing with the Carom Board at Grandma's.
Great list.

"Gnip Gnop"?
Did anyone actually LIKE barrelful of monkeys? It was just a barrelful of frustration for me... but I was an impatient child.

How could you leave nerf basketball and the field goal off your list...oh and Odyssee 2000 on the 9' screen. LONG LIVE MUNCHKIN'

I had a Big Bird Big Wheel when I was little and I could never get the slinky to work! Great list! Oh and I also loved the Lite Brite. I would spend hours with that thing! Thanks for the visit!
