Anyone remember these bad boys

Loved them - had a massive collection...Was addicted to buying them and playing against classmates for keeps. Was quite handy at them if I do say so myself!

Aye, I used to have a metal slammer that would just wipe everyone out
Top notch!

A better question might be why did we used to think these were great, they're just discs of card and plastic...

Wasn't there some sort of game you could play with them??

My sis recently found her old pogs and organised a tournament with her friends!! Altho didn't go down as well as the old days - I think pogs were great cos you loved them so much and didn't want to lose them to your friend - especially the shiny/hollogram ones!! When you're not that bothered it loses it's appeal!!! lol
(Loved the metal slammers, I had one all jagged at the edges:))

Creamy Goodness

still have pogs here somewhere and the pog game. i use to only play for the proper pogs but everyone in school had them ****ty ones you bought in pound shops.

must root them out and have a look at them again.

I recently bought a heap of them on eBay for pennies. I got a 'game board' that came with slammers.

The Real B-man

They where brilliant when you where a kid but if you look at them now they seem **** tbh

yoyo

Also loved pogs..you could get them in the egg 20p machines too...the joy when you got a "shiney" or slammer...I also had a metal one with the jagged edges, how cool

Wasnt the game where youeach put a pog down and you would use the slammer to try and flip them by slamming the pog on the stack...I cant really remember

Ah I remember the days going around the yard with a bum bag full of pogs. I think it was the only fad in our school that wasn't banned! I remember playing a game of slammers with my friend (where you play for slammers instead of pogs) and I broke her plastic slammer with my metal jagged one, best game ever! (though I think I left her in tears)

I also had a pog maker, but it was kinda crap, they used to come out all frayed at the sides.

There were some that I just wouldn't put on the line!!! Not an emotional appeal but they just looked great (and shiney)...

Pogs were banned at my school Lots of confiscations there...Think people were suspicious that teachers were having their own matches and tournaments with what they took! Them were the days, simple pleasures!
