Oh no they didn't!!!! Ours was stationary. It got adjusted by my dad yelling thru the window for me to turn the pole some more!!! Only thing I had one of those for was on my CB base, to steer the beams to get the best "bounce"!

They still make those, but they're plastic now.

In fact, I think that photo might be of the new ones, I don't remember any of the plastic bases, doors, rooflines etc...

Oh yeah, the OLD Lincoln Logs had Wooden Roof slats. All you got in plastic was the end supports
for the roof. The roof slats were thin, green and a little splintery and certainly broke "easy" . In my
house they had help.

Yes! And then after we broke a few roof slats, mom or dad would cut a few pieces of cardboard out the same size as the wooden roof slats and color them green with a marker.


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.

Sadly that thing made SO MUCH SENSE when you were playing it, too, that's what's scary....
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.

OH MY GOD! I LOVED THAT GAME -- taking your flashing dot down the sideline on a long run was the shiznit!

I still have mine, but it's a two player version with controls at both ends and the field in the middle AND it still works!

Best VIDEO game ever, passed many many hours playing this on long trips on school buses. Licked many a 9volt battery because of this game for some reason as well.

I remember everything in this thread, just wait till someone posts a thread like this and there's an actual LP as the first picture, I hope it's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.. oh the hell with it.
