I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Monsters In My Pocket, I think. We had tons of those and a big pyramid to display them all in:tragabigzanda wrote:Oh yeah what were those thing again?

I seem to remember there being a card game, or you'd have them battle. Something like that.

Re: Old toys from way back
Aw man...there was some “board” game (it wasn’t a board game but a strategy turn-taking game with physical pieces and idk what to call it) where you set up your castle—towers, bridge, moat, trees outside, soldiers, etc.— and then you battled your buddy until one of your castles or all of your men fell. No clue what it was called. Anyone?!

Re: Old toys from way back
I remember getting one of these "Merlin" game things, which I thought was cool:

And then my parents came back from a trip and bought me this handheld space invaders game, which was dope:

But the absolute must have was the "Game & Watch" Donkey Kong and Oil Panic double screen handhelds. My parents went to Singapore one time and bought me these back. Happy days indeed:
