When i was a kid we played with ...

Damn that picture made the memories flood back, that was also a game that was quite fun.

 

we never had ps1. brothers did get ps2. and i played what ever. GTA3 but only when mom was not home. lol

 

...and no fuck no, no one was better than me at this:

 

I vaguely remember something like that. Wow... that's really stretching the memory but I do remember it.

And a look back at what we grew up with compared to today explains a LOT of what we see in society.
We had to be smart to survive, or at least retain all of our limbs and digits

 

What about a Whizzer, remember those?

 

LOL!

Tops and yo-yos

I was never any good at tops.
Was fair at yo-yos, but never could do any of the really sweet tricks that required a LONG "sleeper".

 

Dradle ?

 

I could rock the cradle and that's about it lol

My fireball was my favorite.

 

Yeah, that's kinda like natural selection at work IMHO....

 

Don't think so, it's not made of clay...

 

Like I said... I wasn't good at all with tops, but a friend was an ace.
He could get the thing spinning, pop it up into his hand, and pass it to his other hand behind his back, under his leg, however... then back onto the sidewalk.

I always accused him of cheating using magnets, but I always knew he was just flat out good.

 

A bud of mines kid can show the fuck out with a yo-yo. I didn't even know the're was such a thing as "off the string tricks", yeah, the string isn't even tied to the yo-yo... He's got a tackle box full of yo-yos, strings and all kinds of shit.

 

my dad used to bring us like a dozen tops from mexico each week...we played a 2 player game were one spins and the other attempted to hit the head of the spinning top and break it in half...I was a beast at that...

 

"With you I will play"

 

someone please tell me they recognize this...and explain to me how it works...i always thought it was magic...

 

wow, this is the kind of shit I would bring back from Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico..My families tradition was to go over there and spend 3 weeks at our beach house during the summer...i miss that house. I miss that tradition...oh well...


jumping beans...never did find out if they really had a bug in them that made them jump...hmmm

 

I remember those! It's been a long time since I've seen one
