Toys! Remember when.....

I remember having Rockem Sockem robots and watching Lancelot Link Secret Chimp and I Dream of Jeannie.

What I remember is how little boys were ripped off with football games.

There was one type that had a vibrating playing field with little plastic men on stands. It took forever to get all the men set up, and once you did you would turn on the switch for the vibration and they would all spin around in circles or head straight for the out of bounds. On the commercial it looked like they were actually running plays.

Then there was another one I had called foto-electric football. It was nothing but a carboard box with a lightbulb inside. then you put two paper cutouts (one for offense and one for defense) on top of the box and slowly pulled away the piece of carboard covering the light. The light illuminated the offense/defense plays and you were supposed to get excited by watching the lines. the biggest ripoff in history. On the commercial the kids were all screaming and jumping with excitement. Yeah right!

I don't remember that but I remember Lite Brite. I always wanted one but I got Barbies instead.

It made me think of another one, Spirograph.
