Just thought i`d share it with you guys, was up in the loft at the parents house and found My `Big Trak' and it still works , its currently running about the living room floor scaring my big softie German shephard

Also trying to find a name of a toy i used to have it was like this square thing with holes in it and you had pieces with spikes on them and when you put the spikes in the holes they lit up and you could draw pictures by lighting up different holes

Well thats my retro statement over for the day off to play with my Big Trak

I remember big track as well, although I didnt have one when I was kid ...deprived springs to mind Got to be worth a few quid nowadays!?!

carl

Was it called Lights Out or something? Pretty sure we had one of those, too.

carl

No, I've got it now: it was called Lights Alive.

ScottyScoob

I see you had a privileged childhood. I had a whip and top with a tangerine in a sock for Christmas. My mum cut down my welly's so that I had a pair of black shoes for school.

ScottyScoob

nah it was months of begging washing peoples cars and doing odd jobs for money oh and selling my fuzzy felts

carl

Fuzzy felts. How cool were they?

ScottyScoob

i had farm fuzzy felts i made a cool farm picture, my gran still has it taped to the fridge pmsl

carl

I just looked on the fuzzy felt website -- I can't work out if it was "farm" or "animals" I had. Pretty sure it had a giraffe in it, which would kind of rule out "farm" unless I had that one as well

ScottyScoob

ok who here was lucky enough to own the LITTLE PROFESSOR calculator , next door had one and i was soooooooo jealous

carl

Ooh. I had one of those. What did it do? I think it set sums for you to answer. It had those really old thin red 7-segment LEDs.

Had a Speak and Spell too.

ScottyScoob

Ooh evil knieval - I had that and the big long bus thing to go with it as well

There's a cool second hand shop in Brighton in the hippy area that has loads of retro toys and games in it.

CrisPDuk

I had one of those It got used for about a week, then I got bored There's no way I'd pay that for it.

My mum gave it away to some kids down the road with loads of other stuff, whilst I was away at college It took me a long time to forgive her Even now if something crops up on ebay I e-mail the link to her, so she can see what she deprived me of


At least she got forgiven. My dad ain't NEVER getting let off for throwing my chopper away

beemerboy
