I still remember it . Got the Basket game . Basketball game you used flippers with and a ping pong ball. Wore that SOB out. Used to use an egg timer for a clock. I think I went thru about 3 of those games. Bought my son one when he was younger and was not the same. He had Intellvision then Can't beat the Good Old Days.
FAVORITE SPORTS GIFT YOU RECIEVED WHEN YOU WAS A KID
- Thread starter boilermaker

Head to head football 2.. Played it for hours.. My dad bought me a Powerflight aluminum bat for little league when I was 8.. I still have the bat..
Johnny Bench hitting machine, wow, did I beat the shit out of that. I use to use that thing everyday!

Pro Hockey....had big rink, players attached to metal rods of varying lengths, so players, thru your actions, could move forward and backwards via slots in gamefield, and by twisting left or right you controlled action, (not like those gay stationary players nowadays)
It was almost ALL metal...
Goal keeper slid left or right to defend wooden puck.
Lots of intense hockey battles with my bother..

Electric football and the hockey were great games.. Played my sister's boyfriend and beat him all the time.. My mom would make me shut of electric football because of the noise.. I returned from school one day and it was gone.. My mom said it broke.. I don't believe that crock of shit anymore.. Do they still make that game. I will get it for nephews..
Another great sports x-mas present I got was Strat-o-matic baseball. Man did I spend some time rollin them dice.
Ahhh... the humane traps. :mj07: The 1st thing I 'trapped' was a finger...it hurt so bad I couldn't cry let alone try to remove it.
Then some poor squirrel got in a trap, not secured properly and ran up a tree, got caught on a branch and sounded like a screaming baby.....all during Christmas dinner.
Dad was pissed, brought out the .22 rifle, squirrel was swinging back and forth....:142smilie

Go the full stand up video game 10 Yard Fight. It snowed that morning and my parents had it hidden in the back garage. I thought Xmas was all over and wasn't real pleased with my rake :142smilie
Mom said oh yea I forgot something and brought me this little box wrapped up, inside was the key to the garage. I ran out and found my game. I made my dad wheel that fucker through about 6 inches of snow about 200 yrds into the house so I could play it. :mj07:
