GUYS this is tooo cute. My favourite childhood toy was the gameboy pocket ! LOL.
That and the local neighbor's gun.
Mine was gameboy pocket too! with....LIGHT
Begged my mum like crazy to get it for me as well.
Shit, I could never get that game SET UP to play correctly.
I was always more of a board-game/video game type of person. I wasn't really too much of a 'toy' person, per say. I did love playing with marbles, though. More fun than the plastic marble sets was the old dot-matrix printer paper that we had left over (after we got a newer printer). I used to tape long streams of paper up around the room and put marbles on them to make enormous marble tracks. It was so ghetto now that I look back on it, and the hippie in me cringes at the wasted paper, but I thought it was the best, because it was ALL what I wanted to do, rather than having to use some stupid little plastic set.
I did have a furby that I loved for a few months before it went crazy. It started blinking and whirring all the time. It was creepy at night when I was trying to sleep, so I left it in my closet until the battery died.
Damn. Furby.
It's scary shit to me, even now. I could never play with that toy. Maybe because I watched Child's Play and was scared of all doll-like toys. Especially the sort that actually moves....
