Okay gang I am bored and when I am bored I like to reminisce about the great 80's toys and tv shows that filled my childhood with wonder (Some times I just bash one off instead).

Anyhow lets us use this thread to throw a few gems out there that some of us may have forgotten about.

Toys:
M.U.S.C.L.E (Milloins of unusual space creatures Lurking every where)

TV: Combat (LWT)

I remember there was one with "Anyone for tennis?" too:


My brother and sister and I used to put our fingers over each white dot just before it changed to black... it looked like we had changed it...amazing! We didn't have a micro computer or video games system so we had to make our own electronic interactive fun. Perhaps we should have patented some sort of "press telly screen" technology back then.
