What a cracking thread!
Had Crossfire...and yes, "hurty finger" sums it up perfectly.
Had loads of Subbuteo, really loved that game...still have my World Cup edition complete with Jules Rimet Trophy (so that dates me then doesn't it!!), flood lights that lit up much of the rest of the room but little if any of the pitch! I have loads and loads of original teams, but updated many of them with Airfix paint so the strips were more accurate....spent hours doing this.
Loads and loads of Airfix models, like others, many of them gathering dust while swinging about on my bedroom ceiling.
Also, "Striker", another football game where the players heads were pressed to make them kick the ball....this was great although not as realistic as Subbuteo! One of my teams had a player with an exceptionally long neck who could kick the ball like a rocket, and another had one with a neck so short that he hardly moved the ball at all. he was in the red team while "Long Necked Larry" as he became known was in the blue team, so it was always a toss up and big hope that you won and could select the blue team.
Loads of Corgi models (many of which I still have although not in great nick) and tons of Lego which was the best. Could spend days building things with it. Still have it all and my kids have now outgrown it but refuse to allow it to be thrown out!
Could go on and on with this one...love it!!
