Favourite Childhood Toy

It's a tough question, can only narrow it down to two toys.


Action man, still have them all in the attic. Ninja action man was the best because you could wind up his wrist and press a button so that he'd spin the sword in his hand. Amazing at the time. I had a few Dr. X's as well, but he was a prick!



I was mad into power rangers as well. Had the costumes for halloween etc. The power ranger figures never got into, more interested in epic megazords! I had the tigerzord which was amazing because it was the only one afaik could transform from animal to megazord.





Worthy mention goes to my original Tonka fire truck which I love dearly.

Colm!

Omg, digger, such a classic. That music was so annoying but so addictive. Keen was like an ancient mario type thing, him and his pongo stick :P

Edit: Just watched the video...you could SHOOT them??? I feel deprived of ever doing well in that game, I never knew that

You can now relive your the awful music and the fact that you didn't know you can press F1 to shoot.
that game tbh.

And yes, the Keen games were like Mario, with pogo sticks. The guys who made it made it based on technology they made for a PC port of Super Mario Brothers 3. After approaching Nintendo with a full port of SMB3, they were told that nintendo didn't want to enter the PC market at that time. So, they made their own game, and it was PRETTY DAMN AWESOME. Sadly, Nintendo made Super Mario World, which was even more awesome.

EDIT: whoaa, the commander keen games have a modding scene? http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Galaxy_Mods. I think I'm going to have to find that keen floppy disc again tbh

Get past the ridiculous copyright protection they had on floppy-disk games back then; you had to have a spinning disk thing which matched up certain numbers with other numbers, then they chose random numbers and you had to use your disk and type in the corresponding numbers.

Damn complicated, just to play a football game.

Ah Jaysus, remember our Game Of Life days?

My favourite childhood toys were probably Beanie Babies. I had HUNDREDS of them (no exaggeration >.>). They were so awesome

Beanie Babies! \o/

I had 4 which I adored.


Humphreys(camel), Peking(panda), Peanuts(elephant) and Piglet(pig)

All 4 still reside in my bedroom but a little worse for wear (All are missing their tags. I have the tags, they just aren't connected anymore.


EDIT: It was easier to post one single picture.

1) There was a NINJA action man and nobody informed me? WANT.

2) I had/have that tigerzord! It was the only thing that sprang to mind when I was trying to think of toys. Pretty badass :cool:

I have a good few action men as well. After a while they made them with plastic hair instead of the fuzzy material. Never was teh same again.

1955 to 1958 my fav toy was a golliwog named Jack. Was one of the very few toys I had. Took him everywhere.
