My brother had one of those. By the time I was old enough to play with it, he didn't really play with it anymore, but I used to love it. Of course there was nothing special about it, you line up the players and then they vibrate around..

I used to put 6 on the line, 3 lined up parallel with the QB, behind the line so the RB would have 9 people blocking as I hoped he would just go up the middle..

Rock em sock em lasted about 30 minutes. We broke them to hell then got in trouble for being too damn rough.

I can’t find the commercial but pogo ball was awesome. I was one of the few kids that I knew that was good at it.

Lite Brite commercials made it seem awesome. I usually lost interest 1/2 through completing a sheet and went to play something outside, though.

Clap on clap off, the Clapper was pretty awesome, too. That song would get stuck in my head, though.

I was similarly shot down on multiple occasions. Of all the dumb shite I had, I’m not sure why THAT was their limit.

Dude you aren’t lying. I couldn’t wait to play punch out with it and it sort of sucked.

Saw one of these in the store recently and bought it for my nephew purely out of nostalgia. They were the shite
