    Romeo the Romanian was just a silly game that was made up by some class mates. Basically from what I remember alot of Romanian (pretty decent compared to some other pr!cks I went to school with) kids joined our school in around the mid 90's. Everytime you spotted one you had to say "ROMEO". Ye sounds dodgy but when your a kid you don't understand these things. It became a silly habbit in the school yard. In the last of our primary school days alot of them became friends with us, swapped alot of Nes games with those guys, in fact one of them is still a decent friend today :cool:

    Bulldog was good.

    Pogs were good, until one of my rare slammers were robbed. Make of a metallic silver. :mad:

    That was it for me really.

    I still have tons of my old pogs in the shed, their heading towards being vintage now

    I don't know if it counts as a game but collecting, swapping stickers and having sticker albums was the craze in my school. Happy days. :)

    Stickers were awesome! And fancy papers! I think I still have mine in the attic in my parents house.

    Apart from rounders, tip the can, bulldog and 'kitchen', does anyone else remember playing elastics?

    Kiss Chasing....always slowed down for the pretty girls:D

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,098 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    We had a game called ball, the object was to get the ball. Everyone had to chase and beat the person with the ball in order to get the ball, continuing the cycle of violence.

    Another game I remember was similar to any other chasing/hiding game where one person had to find and catch the others who would join the chaser after they were caught. We made it our own by the inclusion of the rule that the caught person must be punched in the balls by each member of the chasing team. It seemed bad at the time, but I've come to appreciate later in life that being crap at hiding was a good thing.

    Did that as well ha ha, people cementing Broken glass on their garden walls was a real fun-stopper though! Still have the Stigmata:D

    Knock-a-dolly or Knick-Knack we called it, thankfully the playstation has sedated modern-day scamps so you don't really see it anymore!

    Stay outside the lines was a good one.

    Apparently the teachers disproved and gave out to anyone who stepped outside the lines. So the trick was whoever stayed outside the longest won.

    It was epic.
