Those balls look like a new and improved safety version. The ones we had were cast acrylic resin and hurt like hell even if they didn't explode on you. I may still have some puka shells around somewhere...

Re: How Old Are You?
I remember having this as a kid. Today kids have iPhones & iPads.

Man....I'm older than I thought I was.
I almost killed myself with the second one, and the first one, I had like a dozen of them. I recognized all of them. Had one of those things MCS posted for a few years. Until you couldn't find the "inserts" for them anymore. |

Kelly, they still make those wheel deals, the kids have one sitting on the coffee table right now. :) I haven't been stumped yet, but Dave almost got me. I recognized it, but it took awhile to remember what it was for. |
Re: How Old Are You?
I used to fling those at my little sister (mine were yellow too)

Re: How Old Are You?
I'm 38. I know/had every one of the items pictured so far, except for the key looking things. I have a guess, but not 100% sure.

Re: How Old Are You?
Guess Dave never owned those old clunky roller skates with the steel wheels that clamped on over your shoes... I certainly did :)

Re: How Old Are You?
Jeeze, I feel older than I really am now.

4 pages so far and ain't been stupmed yet, except for the skate key. I made an assumption on that one, never had skates, but I am pretty sure that's what that one is. My dad brought me the electronic football home from one of his weekend'ly runs to all the thrift stores in NO. What a time I had with that one. As for the Zip handle on the smash up derby cars, that was actually used for a product that came BEFORE Smash-Up Derby, although it was the same basic product. The aim of the original was JUST speed, but of course, it wasn't long before the excitement of SUD sets came out. As I recall those prior cars were FAST!! That poured metal alloy central core for the wheel and the massive rubber exterior...you're right, if that thing skidded off your palm when it was spinning it was a bad deal. And now that I mention it, the Evel Kneivel set also used a similar zip system. WOW, those cars were bad-a55! I had two of em. A kid that came to visit us one Christmas from Michigan had a BRAND NEW smash up derby set. I remember that weekend, too, cause he burned the $hi+ out of his hand on sparkler wires and I blistered mine in touching all three rails of a Lionel Train track at once. It was a SICK imprint, lol. I am guessing my hand was sweaty, as it often was as a kid. |

In fact, I think that photo might be of the new ones, I don't remember any of the plastic bases, doors, rooflines etc... |
Re: How Old Are You?
I'm, sadly, too old for electronic games when I was a kid. We didn't even have calculators until I was finishing high school.

Re: How Old Are You?
HAHAHA, I just checked out the layout to see which two I had. I had forgotten completely about "The Black Jack".
That was the most bada55 looking car. I also had a King Cobra in purple. I think everyone in my neighborhood had 1. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/a...MKTG/ssp12.jpg |

for the roof. The roof slats were thin, green and a little splintery and certainly broke "easy" . In my house they had help. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/a...lnlogcabin.jpg |

And in my house, there were always a few of the longer logs that had chew marks all over one or both ends because we left them out and the dog got to them. :r |

This is the back of something that if you saw the front it would be obvious.

THIS WAS THE SHI+ !! Accept no substitutes! The Marx Electro-shot Shooting Gallery. Constant ball bearing
gravity feed, you could shoot away for hours. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/a...RANGE_GAME.jpg |
Re: How Old Are You?
Remember those red & white steroscopic 3D viewers? The ones with the disks you dropped in and there was a lever on the side for advancing to the next picture while you pointed them towards a light. Some even had "companion records" that would narrate the story.
I'm drawing a blank on the name... Viewmatic? |

Re: How Old Are You?
I have that football game somewhere at home.
I remember the SUD had a ramp with it. I used to use the ramp with the Evel Knevil zip bike and using it to jump my Hot Wheels. My mom would get so mad when I would zip the bike, and hold it as it screeched on the terrazzo floor. |
