Astro Wars... LOL! I used to have one of those until I decided to use a train set power supply on it because I couldnt afford batteries. Think you can guess what happened to the poor game :(

I had one!. It was top!. My fave toy by far as a kid, the two grey craft at the end of the wings came off, and the front detatched from the main ship. Was byewtz!!!.

Not seen that since I was a nipper!.

I always wanted that Simon thingie, looked like fun that.

That Commodore 64 was at £52 last time I looked... I wasn't gonna pay that and amazingly someone else was selling 1 in same sort of condition but they gave you the 'BUY IT NOW' option for £20... so I bought it...all I can say to the person who bought it for that ridiculous price is SUCKERS! here's a pic...

LOL @ Big Trak !!

I was so excited knowing this was me xmas pressie. And what a lump of shite it was !
 
Remember when you had to PEEK and POKE to get infinate lives in a game????


There's a chance one of these babies may be heading my way!!! :D :D :D

Oh aye and speaking of spaceships did anyone have that spaceshuttle thingie with the 4 sound effects button's on the wing. Loved it.

But by far my most tragic loss must be that my near complete collection of starwars figures and toys was utterly destroyed by myself - especially now i see the prices that some of that stuff goes for!!! I even had the early darth vader and luke skywalker figures with the lightsabre that went in and out of their arm and theyre' worth a fortune now!

LMAO... this thread is great. !!!

Astro Wars and Simon !!! classics :)

I have a C64 and a 48K Speccy in my loft.. w00t :) Must try and find Manic Miner and Jetpac ;)

ilovepiano... I'll try and give you a run for your money with the ole cube... my record is around 1 min but I'm sure with a bit of practise I could get it down ;)

Remember the rubiks cylinder thing? I could do that in 8 seconds :) Rubiks Magic in 3 seconds... I'm a sad geek :)

I always wanted a TCR lane changer but all I got was a 10 piece scalectrix.
