Loved Generals. Found mine last year at my mums, still in the box and electronic brain and sound still working. So simple but so tense when playing! Nee Nar Nur Nee Nar Nur Nurrr

I have an "escape from Colditz" board game still in a cupboard from my childhood. I remember playing it a lot back in the 70s
It's been re-released, I was pretty tempted to pick it up, just because I don't think we ever understood the rules. DO OR DIE!

Chutes Away
TCR
I lusted after these but never got them. The spoilt kid at school did however, and after an hour or two of playing with them realised that they were both a bit crap.

I had absolutely 100% completely forgotten about Ghost Castle until i saw that pic
How about Game of Life? Can't remember much about it apart from their being a spiny thing and buildings and bits of landscape you stuck to the board and funny little pegs (that you'd lose) and little cars. The best thing about the game was it came with toy money in much larger denominations that you got in Monopoly. I just played with the money.

Can't believe Pop Up Pirate is still a thing
Although the google image search was entertaining

I had chutes away, or one of my grandparents did. My mum brought up a couple of my old board games the other week, Coppit and Sneaky Pete. Our 9yo loves Sneaky Pete. Before Christmas I remembered Kick Off which I played a lot, certainly more than Subuteo.

I could have typed those exact words myself. I can't divorce the memory of TCR from luxurious deep pile carpet and the disappoint of pretty much being a spectator.

I'd absolutely LOVE to play Crossfire again.
My parent's wouldn't let me have it (guns), but I played it in the shop for a few minutes and was absolutely hooked!I've just had a quick look to see if I can find the gun design so that I could 3D print a set, but no luck
Go for about £50-70 on ebayPosted 36 minutes ago # -
So many blasts from the past have awakened memories. (Crossfire trigger-blisters, owch)
No-one for Shoot-A-Spook?

I removed the target ball from it's plastic housing and stuck it up one of my nostrils. It got stuck

This was good, but took too long to wind the tops up between battles.

All the games with cars and planes looked soooo snazzy on tv and were often soooo kak in real life
I had the cheap version of Scalectrix, which was an oval of track which had a spring shaped wire running in grooves in th track. You had to glue pins under your cars to hook them on. Rubbish!

Tin Can Alley. My neighbour, Michael Ritchie, had it. He was a weapons grade walloper. One time, he hit me over the head with a shoe so I wrestled him to the ground and bit him in the back. Funny how I haven't thought about that for years until now.
Tank Command. I got it as a pressie when I broke my arm.
Race and Chase - it was great but was a bit temperamental.
Test match - kid of like Subbuteo for cricket fans.
Buckaroo.
Texas Pete.
(Sigh) Happy days eh!

I've still got mine, same box as in that pic.
I don't think it qualifies for this thread though as I'm 99% sure you can still buy it.

Pre eagal-eyes and plastic pants. And whats with having a belt to hold up your undies?
With the rotted off fingers - or even the peg-like stumps when the whole hand had rotted off.

Mastermind. Great game.
Could never understand why the box had a Bond Villain and his assassin on it though.
Back to the OP. Atari. I wanted an Atari. I never got an Atari.

I had the Evil Knievel bike and his truck. Evil often used to go on road trip with barbie in both trucks, then jump his bike through the lift up sides of barbies truck.
She was a fair bit taller then him though so got a bit intimidated and just skidded down the road on his side in a cloud of dust.
Also had a TCR set which was very good but a pain in the backside to set up.
One of my favourite although wasn't really a game, more just a toy.
