"You Sunk My Battleship" And Other Great Games

[The Blowhard]

"Battleship" had to be one of the coolest games back in the day. We would play for hours at a time. It was almost as fun as "The Rock'em Sock'em Robots" or those electric vibrating football games! LOL

i cant play battleship without cheating.

other games i loved to play growing up were stratego, sorry, trouble, life, candyland & chutes and ladders

i also love scrabble - my man and i were playing a couple of weeks ago, and on my first turn i was able to use up all my letters by spelling fellatio!

Remember the first electronic battleship...you had to program every single coordinate for every single ship. Ohhh My God, and heaven fordbid if you missed one coordinate, the game would never end...

[GvacNoMore]

"G-4" "It's a hit!" Awesome game. I think that, Clue, Scrabble, and Othello were my favorite games when I was growing up. A few years back I bought the special anniversary edition of Scrabble; it comes on a rotating base and raised squares so the tiles don't get messed up, as well as an electronic timer. I haven't played it in quite some time, but would love to.

Jenni, you don't happen to have a sister, do you? ;)

What about:
"Operation"(remove funnybone, ha ha ha!)
Trouble

and for the Ladies, Mystery Date?

I can't remember the name of the company but they put out all of these games:

my favorites were

Definately risk, and monopoly. Dark Tower was reall cool to. But we used to play agame called dungeon I think. Where u had cards and had to tunnel out of the prison you were in

Battleship was such a great game. My other two favorites were Monopoly and Life.

IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME-AHHH!

What about those hockey games that are now featured on Bud ads? I had one, it really sucked.

[spoon]

Mr. Mouth!! I would never have recalled that gem. Nice work NE! I was into the war games and most were very complicated and LONG!! I started with Jenni's great call of Stratego (which I picked up again recently and they reversed the number system) and moved up as I got older to Risk and then the awesome MB specialty games. Axis and Allies and Shogun to name a few. Next, I moved up to very expensive specialty games involving WWII Europe, Midevil Times, and pure fantasy based land/character struggle games. These fuckers cost upwards to over 100 bones apiece or more. Well worth it if you have someone to play versus. During sleepovers, we'd stay up all night and not even get close to finished so we'd set it aside under the false assumption that it wouldn't be disrupted. Oh yah, with a jolly Old English Sheep Dog and two nosey/bratty sisters...game over.

I loved Electric Football, it was anarchy. You could never control where any of the players went. The football itself was basically the head of a Q-Tip.

Heckler I loved my Bobby Hull hockey game. We played it so long that the metal poles that connected the players would be bent and you couldnt slide them down with out ramming them. And the one goal was so abused, he would always fall off when you creamed him with a good shot.
ahhh memories.......
and who can forget classic rainy day games of uno and crazy eights

[radio junkie]

I always loved Skittle Bowl. A wooden ball hanging from a chain attached to a pole, you had to swing the ball and knock down 10 wooden pins. I hated Ker Plunk, what a pain in the ass getting those sticks through that tube and through the holes. Anyone rembeber the Marx Shooting Gallery? That was fun.

Mine was strange. It was Montreal vs Toronto, and it always go out out control, my friends and I would go apeshit.
James, that was great, the Q-Tip head, we also used a spitball.
Gvac, Barrel Of Monkeys was a gift that I always got at Birthday parties. I always ended up throwing the Monkeys around as weapons. LOL

<img src=http://www.ltrooster.homestead.com/files/heckler1_Animation.GIF>

[spoon]

Heck, you reminded me of another game perhaps someone else will remember its name. The game where you and a friend set up your fort/castle and men and then opened fire with your catapults and various firing weapons from midevil times. Dam that shit was cool. It usually ended with my dad coming home from work and picking up a couch pillow and launching it at my castle and men. Of course it wiped me out and he called it the K-bomb (our last name starting with K) and stated that its time to eat....move it!

[EasyReader]

I have a question about Mousetrap. Did anybody actually bother to PLAY the game, like rolling the dice and moving the mouse pieces around and stuff, or did you just build the mousetrap and play around with it until you got bored? That's what my brothers and I always did. Nobody ever bothered with the actual game.

<img src="http://spatch.ne.mediaone.net/rf-easysig.jpg">

[jamesdiggy]

Anyone remember Gnip-Gnop.(I swear it existed) What about the Family Feud and $25,000 Pyramid home games. And from the mid 80's, remember VCR Clue. "I was never in Sumatra."

Cake or Death? Uh, I'll have the cake please.

[GvacNoMore]

Hell yeah I remember Gnip Gnop! It was great, and super funky. The balls were neon colored, and this was years before the 80's! And I never actually played the game of MouseTrap either, Easy Reader. It was just set it up and let it go.

There were two type of memory games that I loved. One was of course named Memory and it featured many different pictures. Then there was a game that appeared a few years later called 'Guess Who?'. You got a card which was your person and you had to guess the features on the other persons face...I loved them

I went looking on e-bay for my personal fav as a kid but thought $200.00 was way to much for some old although never played with ROCK-EM SOCK-EM ROBOTS. Then at christmas time I saw them at Toy's "R" Us. alittle smaller then the originals but for $14.99 I bought 2. My son & I have a blast playing with them

Hooray, We can say "Stuff your Ass" now! Damn, now I'm starving!

Now that I have strained my one brain cell to recall my childhood, Does anyone remember a board game that revolved around cargo shipping. You would visit a port and get good s and have to ship them to your port. In the middle of the board there was a typhoon storm and it would move about the board. I think it moved when you rolled the dice. Underneath the "storm" were magnets and you would rotate the storm. Now the lil boats you owned had metal pieces, so when the storm passed over it it could suck them up and they would be sunk. Anyone remember that game.
And what was the game that had the big shark in it that would close its mouth and try to pop your balloon?

I wasn't really a fan of battleship, however I did enjoy many rounds of chutes and ladders and candyland.

Wow, that's an oldie.
All I remember is lights, bells ringing and balls..some kind of pinball thing I think.
BTW, did anybody ever have "The Give A Show Projector"? I would sit in the dark and stare at Yogi Bear and Boo Boo for hours LOL! I also had a purple ray gun that showed film of "The Phantom", a very strange toy.
Finally, how crappy were "Viewmasters"? LOL

[high fly]

Unless I missed it, here we are on page 3 and no one's brought up "Strat-O Matic Basaball!"
The football version sucked.
Also, any of the older cats remember "Up Periscope"?
The game was played in a big hollow box, inside it were your submarines and these panels that would hamper your view as you looked down inside it with a periscope. When you saw one of your opponent's subs, you'd shoot it with a plastic torpedo.
I also used to really enjoy "Broadside".
You had two fleets of little sailing ships--the crappy little cutter had only two masts, whereas a ship of the line had four. One player would defend a harbor and the other would invade.
Then there was the WWI game "Dogfight" which I liked for a while, but it didn't have the staying power of "Broadside".
Games were best stored under the bed. When put on the top shelf of the closet they'd always fall on you when you opened the door.
Then there were those horrid plastic bowling balls and pins that only took up space in the toybox.
It wasn't a game, but did anyone else have a "Johnny Seven O.M.A. [one man army]?

" and they ask me why I drink"
