    What do you mean when you "were" young? I AM young! :)

    My favourites that I can remember were my ninja Action Man and K'NEX. Quite often I would build a building out of K'NEX that my action men would fight in/climb all over. Oh what fun. For some reason I kept getting a tangerine in my stocking (pillow case :-D). One tangerine vs 1 million various chocolate bars/coins/sweets, I'm pretty sure I've never eaten one bit of fruit around Christmas.

    If you were nine then you could surely read. You must have been a bright lad, you went to Trinity after all .

    We let nine year olds give ' croggy's ' willy nilly and before you know it they're dealing drugs and breaking into old people's houses .
    Bring back borstals , that''s all I can say !!!
    :D

    I had the Binatone TV Master 4+2... Now that was serious gaming..

    I was also a Crossfire addict, bought the kids a newer version a few years ago, and was a total pile of junky plastic, not a patch on mine.

    Action Man i had one with a Glasgow Rangers kit on (Not sure why Rangers!!)

    Battling Tops, that was excitement..

    Haunted House

    Well thats a few of my ONE favourite toy when i was young...

    A tangerine and a handfull of nuts .........


    ...no, wait, that was last Christmas. It was a piece of coal the year before.

    So, when I was young, Pro-shot golf. A little man on the end of a stick (oooh err missus), a variety of clubs, a polystyrene ball for driving and a small marble for putting.

    I always remember getting a robot boxing game (mid 70's). The two robots were very square in appearance and were red and blue in colour. You kept hitting a button and you won the game when you knocked the head up of your opponent. Can't remember what it was called, but I spent many hours playing the game against my brother.
