layke's toy challenge

layke

Some of you probably have seen this floating about the web or possibly got it in an email already but for those who haven't.

Basically you will be shown a list of toys from the 70's, 80's and 90's and you have to guess the name. Total Nostalgia buzz. I can only manage 37 with 2 close. I guess i'm hopeless.

No cheatin' by unlocking the sheet and looking at the answers!

Goodluck gentlemen.

Excel required, it's virus free and all that lark zipped her myself.

Terry

Is this any good?
I don't have excel.
I'll have to download openoffice to view this.

It has pretty pictures of toys
Its worth it for the sheer sake of saying OMFG I remember that!

layke

I'd have to crack it CSG, I didn't make it myself also I didn't know they password protected it either because I didn't cheat How many did you get?

and yeah it's a laugh purely for nostalgia from your childhood

42 with 2 close.

know a load of them but can't get spellings right.

a good few bring back good memories like screwball scramble and pogs.

Terry

Yeah, I couldn't remember the name of that robot thingy.
I had one of them.
The one where you key in numbers and then it moves around.

stepbar

Got 32 so far and cant seem to get the correct words for 6 more

WindSock

Screw ball scramble! that was it. Dammit. 42 anyway with 14 close. That was total memory lane overload for me. This needs to be in retro forum.

Big Trak. I had one as well

Reku

50 with 9 close
Don't remember that big trak thing you're on about so can't put that in. most of the ones that it has me as close are just damned spelling (one of which I KNOW I have right). There are some more I don't have that I will remember in time (my sisters had them). Think I might pass this on to others in the office.



*edit, make that 51 with 9 close, remembered one of the ones my sisters had.

If you open the sheet in developer mode, you can get the answers (to be used only for the ones where you can't get the spelling quite right of course)
