Toys inside cereal boxes - because of stupid kids that swallow them :mad:

I only found out this wasn't a thing any more recently - when did that change come about? I'm not even old either!

These are Midget Gems, I remember them well. There's probably one or two still stuck to my teeth!

Used to absolutely adore these growing up in the 90s. So much sugar, though. Good old fashioned, stick-to-your-teeth goodness!

I'm told you can still get them in certain shops but I'd given up hope of ever finding them after a long and fruitless search.
Then, today, I was in Tiger in the Pavillions and I found that they sold their own brand of what I and t'Mammy called "Midget Gems".
Currently munching away on a handful of them right now!

Loved this game - started me on D&D and then Warhammer... good times

I used to love this game, you put the ball at their foot and press the heads to make them kick. Hours of fun as a kid with this.

I was up in the Parent's attic last year looking for something and found the packaging for my first mobile phone. I think it was around Oct '98 when I got it.

Anyways as I no longer had the phone, my sister had it after me and lost it, I put a search on ebay and got one recently for 99p in the UK. Massive thing! Only problem is I have no charger but I didn't realise everything except the phone and charger was in the box, which I only opened last night.

Brings back memories!

I still have the same mobile number today! :cool:

Getting up to devilment as a child, randomly dialing numbers with one of these :P

I much preferred dialing 171 and running quietly up the stairs, waiting for brother, sister, mother to run out to the phone and answer a non existent phone call. Cordless phones have stolen us of such simple moments!

18 Minutes to complete Treasure Island Dizzy.... Pretty sure i lost days to that game!

Canis Lupus

Having had a couple of the Dizzy games I never knew what the **** was going on. I recently watched a lets play video like above and I still can't make sense of the game. No idea how it was popular.

So many days spent screaming in frustration playing these bastard games on the Amstrad CPC 464.

This is yet another Christmas gift from more than 30 years ago- junior microscope, Japanese made so decent lens quality. I actually used this recently to confirm the (worn) condition of the stylus on my record player (yes, I am old school!). I remember having great fun with this- disecting spiders and the like!

I got this more than 30 years ago- a Mamod Steam Roller SR1a. It still runs (as does the Mamod company) and I take it down and run it for my own children once or twice a year.

I got an Atari VCS for Christmas about 30 years ago as well. It has lain under a bench in the garage for approximately 20 years. I dug it out about six months ago for a retro games event. Still working.....

Lucky Bastid! What do the controllers feel like.

Anyway, I made a little mistake, the VCS I got 31 years ago. This I got 30 years ago....

Snip.

I have a Raleigh Styler out in my shed with the chrome frame and black mag wheels!
I still love it.
