Running through fields and knicking stuff, and making huts.

Wrestling, Nintendo, the 26 hundred from A-TAR-RI.

pretending I was in a spaceship at the seats at mass.

Star Wars toys and Thundercats on a Wednesday afternoon after school.

For Sure! I had one of those. Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in! Oh yeah. I got that as a rom for a master system emulator and it's still fantastic! Thought i might have just been seeing it thru sepia tinted glasses!

JackieChan

Share lots of these memories,
The Speccy 48k
Atari 2600, me and a friend used to get a needle and press it against the rear com ports(or similar). This would cause games like moon patrol to go screwy, you could end up with 10 pyramids in a row to jump over-totally impossible to do.

I loved Knight rider,the A-Team and later McGuiver also.

The Man from Atlantis was cool

thats ringing bells, but I can't remember.

When Sky and Super came out together. Super was great: Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants etc..

Manimal was another great one.

Tomohawk

Favourite things included making homemade skateboards from broken ones, and riding an Eska "folding" stunt bike around the streets with my friends.

Larianne

Summertime... having 2/3 months holidays!! Just playing out the back on the swings, playing hide and go seek, making tents out of blankets and garden furniture, splashing around in the paddling pool and having water fights, going cycling, playing badminton in the garden, going on trips to the beach and the odd foreign holiday to France or Holland or Belguim.

nachos

Getting up at 6am on a Saturday morning, bringing the duvet down to the couch, getting a big bowl of Coco Pops and watching Going Live/Live and Kicking the whole morning! Ah memories....

Pigman II

He-Man on UTV on Mondays after school. Playing football during the lunchbreaks with those orange plastic balls. FunFactory on skychannel Saturdays and Sundays (ie cartoons for 4hours between 7am and 11am!). Transformers episodes cut up into 5 parts on the RolandRat show in order to make them last a week. The commodore64...................

Friday evenings. Come home at 3.00, dump bag, eat and watch all the best cartoons which were on (remember Ninja turtles?). The weekend was your oyster sniffs, wipes away a tear, clears throat Ah yes those were de days, when men were men and spades were shovels...rheumy eyes gaze into the distance

I almost forgot my fav thing growing up REALLY was Curious George!! Movie on the way

r3nu4l

Lego and dinkys for me too! Also summer days in the back garden with my green, plastic, made in Taiwan army men in the flower beds (jungle). Remember that useless Captain with the pistol, looking over his shoulder and his right arm raised calling the troops forward? He and his like were always the first to die. The commandos and snipers survived to the finish. The running ones with the rifles were killed by bazooka men, landmines or tanks

Lego - an only child's best friend.

Kojak

My good old commodore 64. Ah the memories - it only took about 10 minutes to load up the Terminator cassette.

Bosco, when I was really young.

Summer holidays were the best - 3 months of doing nothing but sitting on my arse. Oh how I yearn for a similar time.
