angeldelight

I've got 17 but seeing as I was only born in December '86 I'm v proud of myself!

theCzar

I've got 20 but it won't give me subooteo or playdo or battleships or tetherball. there's a few more that i know i know but i don't know what they're called...

kenmc

cos you spelled subooteo wrong and it's not called tetherball

theCzar

Well those are good reasons, i've gotten Subbuteo and it should be called tetherball, although thats a subtly different game

I'm proudest of "Othello"

steveland?

21 atm but why won't it take battle ship or battleship

also how do you spell scaelectrix?

Also it's spelt playdough but why won't it work

Spunog UIE

had loads of them lol, including the above two, but I don't have a clue what there from. Any ideas?

I'm on 27 (thanks for Othello)!

Play Dough is mis-spelt by the colonials as Play Doh and the for those in the know it's Scalextric.

Makaveli

This is a real pain.
Have 25 can't get 1,2,3,4,6,12,15,17,18,19,27,28,29,33,36.
Although a few are down to spelling, 6 and 15 are wrecking my head because I had the damn toys and can't remember the name.

Edit - 27 now remembered 19 and spelled 4 right.
