I found my old games systems when tidying up at mums.

Going to try to play with them next weekend as I've arranged a mates retro game party at mine (everyone's bringing a retro game whether board or computer) etc

Super flight deck

Found my old one at mums and I've got it set up as we speak but I've added line so it comes from the top of the stairs and along the hallway to land.

My mate and his attention seeking mrs just visited and we played for a good hour while she stomped around saying we should grow up !!

Transformers and G.I.Joe were all the rage when I was a child so I had loads of those. I always found the bad guys cooler loads of Decepticons and Cobra and few of the goody tooshoes

Then I became an adolescent and my Sega Genesis / Megadrive retired them all Sonic was way cooler by then!

I loved Cluedo and Monopoly, marbles, roller skates, skateboards, my clackers which got banned and my chopper.

Mousetrap was so funny, it always fell to pieces!

I loved roller skates. The hardcore 4 wheeled ones with the rubber stopper in front used to organise competitions with my neighborhood friends.

Connect 4 was awesome and I loved Battleship!

Yes. More infuriating than anything when you had been watching it load. Those blue and yellow lines sending you into a trance!

Cross fire was great but the metal trigger was sharp so you always ended up with a cut or blister.

That's the one and two guns on swivels at either end and you loaded ball bearings into the gun to fire at the puck type thing to fire it into the goal

Mind Trap, Trivial Pursuit and Chinese Checkers are probably the 3 games played most in my house.

Computer games wise, it was Monkey Islands and the Indiana Jones games on PC, and the athletics games in Atari
