I stumbled across this site of some toys from yesteryear and cringed at the sheer fact I remembered a lot of them.

1-X · 31 Mar 2005, 16:10

I claim prior ownership of 32 of them

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 16:14

There was an On the Buses board game?

**** me.

DaWoodster · 31 Mar 2005, 17:21

I bought #95 "Quicksilver Maze" only last month on Ebay ;-)

djbass · 31 Mar 2005, 17:24

heh, actually I've got a blue Quicksilver Maze. little did we know in the day what a perilis toy that was

DaWoodster · 31 Mar 2005, 17:29

This reminds me of my fave toy as a child ~8 yrs old.

I have no idea what it was called, it was a pair of towers with 3 drums between them.
You put a pile of metal ball bearings in the bottom of the tallest tower, it used an archimedes screw type lift to raise the balls to the top of the tower.
The balls then fell off a ramp, bounced over the three drums and landed on the shorter tower where they rolled down a runway back to the base of the other tower.

If anyone can remember this toy I'd love to get the details so I can get one.

Oh and BTW, Crossfire should have been #1

djbass · 31 Mar 2005, 17:38

don't know, but it sounds very simular to a toy I had around the same age, only instead of a screw to raise the balls it had motorised magnets inside that made the metal balls climb up the face of it before rolling back down a ramp.

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 17:44

I remember most and am pretty sure I either owned or used/borrowed/played with around 48 or 49 of them.

NEWSBOT3 · 31 Mar 2005, 17:57

lol dm is old lol.

and so on.

yawn.

dm, develop a new personal deviance kthxta.

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 18:08

I'm sorry that the list referred to toys from the olden days and you were left out?

I'm sure we can find you a site that shows lots of toy dolls, play make-up and dressing-up toys from the 90's so you can tell us all how many of them you secretly borrowed from your sister and her friends when they were in the garden playing football and you were inside because "Mummy says it's too cold for you to play outside"

Heh.

NEWSBOT3 · 31 Mar 2005, 18:09

heh.

i've not even looked at the link to be honest.

shrug.

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 18:10

In fact, here's one I found for you

NEWSBOT3 · 31 Mar 2005, 18:12

wow, you can find links and everything.

next you'll have a job in the high-tech world or something.

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 18:17

Nah, now you're just being silly.

NEWSBOT3 · 31 Mar 2005, 18:22

moi?

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 18:29

Me? In a wireless broadband company? As a product specialist? About to deploy WiMAX? With my reputation?
Shurely shome mishtake...

Was surprised at how many I can remember

Sarina_Joy · 31 Mar 2005, 19:12

I had a blue 'finger fright' \o/

I had or played with 32 of those. I vaguely remember others as my brother had them. I still have my 'Simon' :\

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 19:12

Being old is a form of deviancy?

skiddy · 31 Mar 2005, 19:26

I counted thirty, although I did grow up in Melbourne so I may have been subject to different names / looks of the same toy.

And was I the only person who reached number one, realised it was a bike and felt slightly cheated?

Sarina_Joy · 31 Mar 2005, 19:27

I never had a bike :\

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 19:42

You're a girl.

Girls play with dolls. Not on bikes. Especially not a "Chopper". What are you doing on the Internet anyway? Get back in the kitchen and produce babies.

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 19:43

I really don't think we should be encouraging Ninja to reproduce, DM.

1-X · 31 Mar 2005, 19:44

there are some very easy jokes to be made about girls riding choppers but I'm not going to make them

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 19:46

Coppers riding choppers, whowar, blimey.

And thus it makes sense why there are a fair few porn films involing kitchen tables.

Sarina_Joy · 31 Mar 2005, 19:51

:(

I had a pink tricycle if that counts.

I had a tiny tears and a Sindy (Barbie sucks cock) but also a Mecano set (where the hell is mecano on the list?!) and CGL Galaxy Invaders 1000!!!!!!!!!!

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 19:55

I remember Fuzzy Felt and the Big Yellow Teapot.

Sarina_Joy · 31 Mar 2005, 19:56

fag.

I bet you had 'Bluebird A La Cart Kitchen' didn't you.

So you're the guy who runs around with the buckets full of bits and bytes...* wireless they call that.
No wonder I get to frag those people so easilly if they let DM run around with those buckets.

* this might surpass you a tad if you haven't been in my school class.

I think I might have now you come to mention it.

Dead_Meat · 31 Mar 2005, 20:01

MM would have liked the teapot, as playing with it would remind him of the old

'I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout"

game, so hecould put one hand on his hip, stretch out the other arm, hand hanging limply from the wrist, AND MINCE AROUND THE ROOM LIKE THE RAGING FAGGOT THAT HE IS

Sarina_Joy · 31 Mar 2005, 20:04

I keep noticing more that I owned, 'girls world' being one.

I'm gutted I never had 'Test match cricket' :((((((

I was only three, I don't think I knew what cock whoring was back then.

Apothos · 31 Mar 2005, 20:06

I had a Barbie. ;)

Phang · 31 Mar 2005, 20:07

Marilyn Manson · 31 Mar 2005, 20:09

I desperately want that On the Buses game, just to see what the **** was going through people's heads.

Crossfire was made even better by the addition of plastic soldiers on the playing field, who could then be mown down in a glorious reproduction of The Battle of the Somme, dagga dagga dagga dagga!

midge5 · 31 Mar 2005, 21:41

I remember playing with about 40 of them, still on around 20 heh. Got so many top trump packets lying around my attic.

roadrunner_0 · 1 Apr 2005, 18:46

at some point within my 24 years of life i have owned exactly 50% of the items listed in that link

Kurashima · 1 Apr 2005, 19:04

Yep , im somewhere up there in the 40-45 bracket as well, since my sister had most of the girlie toys in there, and i used to enjoy breaking them/stealing them.
