    D'ya know what was great? Meccano.

    It was like lego, but for engineers. You got a couple of spanners (yes me and my friend), a wrench, two screwdrivers, and a hammer.

    A set of instructions.

    It was better than Airfix, and you didn't get glue in your hair.:pac:

    My dad bought me some meccano, think he was devastated when I didn't take to it. Pretty sure he assumed I was gay for a number of years because of it. :pac:

    I had a bat man mask when I was young. Wore it everywhere mass, school, doctors, town. Once when I was young I fell out off the back of a toyota hilux and cut my head, I Wore the batman mask into e.r. it took the doctor 40min for me to take it off.

    I also had a police bike and id pretend that batman joined the gards. Id fly around the kitchen table cycling into my mothers legs for months. Then my dad got pissed off one day. He took off the training wheels and burned them. So I learned how to cycle without them.

    Why are adults talking about 'playing with toys' in the past tense? Plenty of adult play with toys frequently, and a lot of them are far better then the stuff we had as a child, i.e:

    Ps3/XBox/PCs
    Cars
    RC cars/planes
    General technology
    Alcohol

    It's stupid to say 'I used to play with toys' because we still do. Women don't do that for some reason though.


    You forgot sex toys.:D:pac: Women especially seem to love playing with those...

    Totally forgot about this!

    EPIC game! Remember playing it for hours and hours on end! The add ons were cool too!

    Also, there was a 'futurisitic' type game like Hero Quest called Space Command (I think?). That was brilliant also.

    Yeah, it was called Space Marine and was set in the 40K universe. My mate got that the same year i got Hero Quest and we would alternate between the two, great craic was had.

    Oddly enough i was flicking around the internet earlier and found a mint condition Hero Quest for 50 bucks, so i bought it. :D

    Alcohol is a toy now? Interesting.

    Another vote here for Lego. I used to love building houses with it.

    Now as an adult I love The Sims - just to build myself a houses and renovate them.

    Amazingly I never bought into the property boom nor did I have a desire to own my own house. I was happy out with the sims. Have an urge to buy myself lego.

    But none of them, its a joystick user interface first person shooter game, there are good online facilities, but they not really necessary, it can be very addictive and you play far to much when you first discover it, but batteries ware with age:(.

    Is it cross-fire? I've chosen to ignore the rest of your post.

    My parents had a cheeky little scheme that worked wonders for them.
    Knowing that little Fortune Chip would be up at 6am trying to wake them up to give him presents, they'd always leave some minor present in our rooms on Christmas morning to keep us entertained until they actually wanted to get out of bed.
    It was usually the best present of the lot, some little gadget like a yo-yo or handheld video game.
    I reckon they regret the time they gave me a tin whistle though! Defeated the whole purpose!

    So Yo-Yo's. They were beast!
