before the video game era, I liked toy guns. westerns were my favorite movies, my dad looked like John Wayne so whenever he was telling me what for I acted like we were in a western, he would get annoyed with that I think. when the video game era hit I remember getting an Odyssey 2 while most ppl preferred the Atari I found video games to be like another world and never thought it would get much better than the first final fantasy, we spent days playing the old dungeon and dragon type games, the storylines were like having an adventure if I didn't work i would probably get lost in the new play station games.
But looking back i miss playing with those plastic army men my brother and I would take turns throwing a marble at each other's forces and every tenth turn we used a baseball as, like the big bomb that would usually come in now and then in the movies, we would usually focus that on the Lincoln log forts we had built to shelter the cowering Generals. Who ever's plastic army men was laying face down was considered dead while the others on their back could be re-used as reinforcement troops. The goal was to kill the general or last man standing. I would get into the TYCO race tracks we had but thats a book worth of typing.

That’s a hard one. But I think there is a clear winner - GI Joe!

That guy had everything ... all kinds of cool tools and equipment.

We must be about the same age! Computers and games were like the future come to life for a while. And those little green army men sets! Did you have too many mine-sweepers and guys lying down or was that just me?

I liked trucks and cars and tinker toys and Lincoln logs. I had a set of army men too. I used ground coffee for my dump truck loads. Since I have grand children, I get to play with these again.

I had the GI Joe headquarters and the parachute set.
A Hot Wheels race track was very memorable to. One Year my brother and I received a Coleco video game. It had Pong , skeet shooting ,and a racing game. I ended my video game career at the arcades and the pizza place playing Space Invaders and Donkey Kong.
I'd still like to get a pinball machine.

A Catalina RC seaplane would be pretty cool.
