Some of mine were in no particular order

Fascination
Escape from Colditz
Action Man (original)
Subbuteo
Aurora Motor racing (never had Scalectrix)

These are just a few but there were lots more

Shouldn't this be in the NSFW forum? :ph34r:

1. Harry Potter cluedo - wasn't Cluedo brand but the game was exactly the same. Had some stairs so there was two floors and any extra dice rolls could be used to move a ghost! Was amazing. Simpsons' Cluedo is also ace.
2. Lego - was the shit. Used to love just building random things and even build a proper wee house and used to keep it up for days after I'd build anything.
3. Risk - my dad bought this game and me, my parents and sister played it that night. They all hated it but I loved it. It came up in conversation when I was hanging with some mates and we played a couple of games together last year, was tremendous fun.
4. Pokemon cards - yeah, was just amazing. Loved trading them before school, during breaks and after school.
5. Football stickers, SPL/Euro 2004/World Cup 2002. Completed the WC and one SPL one although I lost the WC one Posted Image

Similar to Pokemon, I just loved the collecting and trading aspect of it.

And that was not a good start, losing the Doctor at this stage of the game is pretty catastrophic, the Mafia will be creaming themselves after that kill. Particularly when the Doctor is as skilful a player as Forehead is.

Who gives a monkeys who boness sign. They quite simply will not pose any threat to linlithgow this season. We have taken a squad who finished three points adrift and improved it all round. Boness have taken a league winning side and ripped it apart on the back of one mans whims. Top 5 at best for boness this year

BU's unbeaten vs the Rose. 2011/12

Oh, no, I didn't catch the ball in the cup! Oh, wait a minute, it's okay because the ball is on a string and attached to the cup

Jesus christ!

What a magnificent game that was. Noisey as hell though but great fun. You could score some screamers at times and the looping corners.

In no particular order:
Hornby trains - my papa got me a set when I was 7 and for a good few years I built intricate tracks in an attempt to create the perfect rail disaster. Alas, I never did quite manage to perfect it.

Lego - so much to build and yet never quite enough bricks. I think my attempt to create the perfect stadium only got me one and and a quarter stands and a couple of bits for corners.

Scalextric - when I was 6 I really wanted a trainset (as mentioned above) but my mum and dad got me a figure of 8 mini metro scalextric kit instead. Was brilliant fun. Could never figure how to keep it on the track for too long but eventually I learned to take the outside lane in order to throw other cars off the track on the inside lane at the apex of each end of the 8.

Battleships - found mine recently and used it as an excuse to invent a drinking game when my pals came over last year. We got bored of it pretty quickly and drank anyway but the memories are decent.

Mousetrap - possibly the greatest boardgame ever invented. I've lost it now, wouldn't mind playing it again just for a laugh.

Honourable mentions to twister and guess who.
The most disappointing I had was backfire! - it never ever lived up to what the advert made it out to be, it was utter garbage. I took great pleasure in throwing in the bin about a year after I first got it.

1. Lego, had so much of the stuff it was falling out my ears, tremendous toy. I remember attempting to build a Lego Dens Park, which had a Casio calculator as a score board. I really got into the Star Wars stuff too, had a shedload of little Luke Skywalker figures!

2. Kinex - used to be able to build fantasic structures with that stuff, i remember the christmas when i got the motor thing for it, Kept me amused for years!

3. A tape recorder - Devilishly simple, me and my brother used to have a great time recording ourselves playing at being radio DJ's by speaking into the tape recorder and recording CD's like playing music. :lol:

4. Tractors - I lived on a farm for my entire childhood, and consequently I was really into tractors, I had a huge collection of tractors and all manner of implements, barns, animals and scenery to go with them, I knew loads of facts about them, and used to play a game with my Grandad as to who could spot the most Fords or Massey Fergusons on the way home from school.

5. John Deere ride on tractor, according to my parents, the best xmas present they ever bought me, covered a great deal of miles pedaling down the farm road, along the path/driveway, up and down the lobby in the house. A tremendous toy, which still sits in the garage. It's far too dear to me to ever throw away!
