| 2398 | Article | Vaporman87 | Agreed c_b_f. My friends and I didn't exactly take to what everyone else thought of as "fun". Ours involved going to each others homes and making terrible movies, audio recordings, or just generally horsing around outside... using our imaginations. Others would have thought we were childish and immature. I didn't care. | Jul 14, 2015 |  | |
| 2399 | Article | onipar | Thanks for reading! I have to dig out some more old photos and try to keep this series going. Yeah, it's all about not letting others dictate how we live. Gamegear to pass the time is perfect! :-) Those looks you were getting: envy. :-) | Retro-graphic Evidence: Video Games are Cool! | Jul 14, 2015 | |
| 2373 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | It seems to me that no one ever had that USS Flagg play set. Every article I have ever read regarding that thing has always had the article writer saying "I wish I had that as a kid." | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2376 | Article | pikachulover | I never had Hit Stix either. I forgot about them for a while until I found an old tape from 1988 with a commercial for them on it. They bought up a lot of ad time. Now I can practically sing the jingle from memory. Then I remembered kids who had them took them to the local mall and played them on things in the mall like the railings and stuff. I wanted a rock tumbler and never got one. I also wanted a sewing machine and a small pottery wheel. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2377 | Article | echidna64 | Ah one of my friends had the exact same chemistry set. I always wanted one. I believed that at age 7 I could become a mad scientist and create potions like Erkel | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2375 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh... the USS Flagg. No kid I ever knew DIDN'T want that behemoth sitting in their room. I am certain I listed that one a few times on Christmas, but never got it. That and Metroplex (from Transformers). I did own a Lazer Tag set, and let me ease your conscience by saying it did not live up to the hype. The sensor/gun combo was not very accurate or effective. There would be times when you KNEW you aimed perfectly, but a hit would not register. Of course this was early on in the technology of "laser tag" gaming, so that's to be expected. I should also mention that in the Goldbergs episode where Adam gives up all his toys, his prized possession is, of course, the USS Flagg. Lucky Adam. Great read Mickey! All good stuff. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2378 | Article | Vaporman87 | @echidna: LOL. I used to believe that one day I would create a robot companion... out of cardboard. Also, I was pretty certain I could fly for just a split second whenever I jumped off the couch. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2380 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You had good taste for a dreamer of toys. I actually owned the Laser Tag, Hit Stix and an old chemistry set, but as incomplete hand me downs. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 11, 2015 | |
| 2381 | Article | mickyarber | @Hoju...you're right, I was quite the dreamer. Those are just the ones that I really wanted and aksed for on many occasions. There were so many more things I wanted as well. Maybe I'll have to revisit the topic and go through some more "wants" that I never got. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 11, 2015 | |
| 2386 | Article | massreality | I totally forgot about Hit Stix! My brother owned the Hit Stix, and they were pretty awesome. They even inspired him to get into real drumming a few years later. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 13, 2015 | |
