What games (Toys) can you remember you had as a kid?

Crossfire, used to fire ball bearings at a puck, bit like an Air Hockey type of game. Guns used to give you huge blisters

My little ponies. I had loads of them. And a stable, beauty salon and school.

I also had a baby talk doll that I absolutely adored until my brother made me watch child's play and convinced me my doll was alive too

I had an Action Man with various accessories like a tank and a helicopter.

I also had Subutteo which I loved, a half sized snooker table and various board games.

The Subutteo and the snooker table were used a lot and kept me quiet for hours.

I was obsessed with these. I had the dance school, nursery, stable and castle - which my cousin broke on Christmas morning, gutted!

Marbles, loved my dobbers.

Cluedo, Monopoly, Kerplunk.

I had a lot of Bayko sets that were my cousins and given to me. They are all still in my attic, boxed. I'm hoping they might be worth a bit one day?

Tiny Tears, Teeny Tiny Tears and Sindy Doll everything, still have it all!

Clackers, that bruised my wrists to buggery.

I think we called this one "Raps"... Each player picks a card from a deck, lowest card would get a vicious rap over the knuckles with the card deck.
