We still have our Nintendo. The grandkids love playing on that old-time thing. We probably have 15 cartridges for it - all the old favorites.

These were my favorite - finally threw them away after Hurricane Katrina when they sat in water for 2 months

Still have ours to probably about the same number of games I grew up in a fantastic time we were not wealthy by any stretch but had amazing parents and I actually had a good portion of the toys in this thread.

This thread is really making me realize how spoiled I was as a child. I love you, Dad.

Let me clue you in to the GOAT


Many a summertime tea sit between Ken and Barbie on the porch of my sis's big Barbie house was interrupted to the calls of "INCOMING" as round after round of GI Joe's best aimed Recoilless Rifle shells pounded the chit out of their white- privileged brunches

Model rockets and remote control airplanes were my thing at 12ish years old. Before that legos and erector sets.

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling

I got this after Return Of The Jedi came out. Hated it and didn't understand until 30 years later ...mom tried and the mall was out of x-wing fighters. I was such a shithead.

I think I had every piece of equipment Tonka made at the time. I don't have a clue how many hours I spent building roads and shite in my sandbox and later on some big dirt hills left over from a neighbor digging a pond.
One of the dump trucks sent me to the ER with one of the flipper rods that dumped the bed jammed between two of my toes and hooked around a bone in there. Not good but it didn't stop me from still playing with them.
