Board?



Here's a weird one. Opened an old box of the Game Of Life I've had since I was a kid when I was playing with the kids the other night. What fluttered out of it? An ad slip for other games and things available at the time :)


Like, remember Bigtrak?





And Evel!





And... wait for it... wait for it...

The PACMAN BOARD GAME!





And how could I possibly forget this?!?!?!?




I wish I still lived in such a simple world.

    Evel was the man.

    Never had the pac man board game but Santy brought my brother a pac man computer game, the size of a box of corn flakes.

    I was playing with a Simon somewhere recently - oh, crap, no, it was on the computer...

    good fun though, still and all.

    I just love nostalgia! I STILL have most of my original "Star Wars" action figures from when I was a kid. I've kept them partly because they bring back lots of happy memories but also because I now appreciate the sacrifices my parents must of made to buy them. Growing up in the '80s money was often tight and there was a couple of Christmases when my dad was unemployed but my parents always made sure that Santa looked after my sister and I.

    Simon says! Cannot be purchased in Sweden anymore - anyone seen it in stores? Honestly. We (and especially my dad(!)) loved it.
