Pidesco Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had one of those too! 1983 is really far away now... Jet Pac was great, although my first game was Jumping Jack.

Arkan Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Boglins. Lincoln Logs. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I also had a number of Megos But without a doubt my favorite toys were The Micronauts Wow I never heard of those. thanks for the links In a pointless bit of trivia, The Micronauts line was based on Japan's Microman line which in turn ended up being a predecessor to the changing toy line that became The Transformers in the US. Mego was a huge company in the 70s, but not getting the Star Wars toys killed them in the late 70s. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laozi Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Dinoriders? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Oerwinde Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Also, the best toys out right now: Transformers Classics Wave 1 Transformers Classics Wave 2 (Ignore the "legends" in wave 2. They're just leftover minicons from the Cybertron line they repainted into G1 homages and released under the classics line to bulk up the line.

Pop Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 When I was a kid I had a computer and I had a Sega Genesis. Nintendo never appealed to me. My favourite toys were - Commander Keen - Raptor - Biomenace - Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (!) - Rise of the Triad And other assorted Apogee games. They're all dead / freeware games now, ahem. On the Genesis, I had: - Toejam & Earl - Soldiers of Fortune - Desert Strike - Streets of Rage 2 (!) Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
