80's games

[Sara Noel]

hehe Remember garbage pail kids? *LMAO*

[babynurse]

Didn't they come in a package with bubble gum like hockey cards? Some of them were hilarious and quite gross! If only I had kept some things from childhood they could be worth something on Ebay....who knows?
Have a snowy day!

Rubiks cube! *LOL*
Was anyone into rollerskating? I thought I was just too cool skating with my friends at the rink. *LOL* I can't rollerblade to save my life now. *LOL*
Yup, those garbage pail kids came with bubble gum. hehe They were pretty gross.

My dh stiill has a bunch of those disgusting garbage pail kids cards in with his baseball cards, basketball cards, etc (Ihid them all in the attic ha ha).

How about Chinese Jump Rope? the Rubik Snake? Strawberry Shortcake? holly Hobby? Mickey Mouse Club?

The little ballerina doll? (still have her too!)

[mustang80]

How about Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary?

[Michelle]

How about Cabbage Patch dolls? They were so cute--I was too old for one by the time they were popular, but I might live vicariously through my dd's and get them one

I used to have a ton of those Garbage Pail kids!!

But one of my most favorite things had to have been the Atari. We had Pac Man, Frogger, Combat, Missile Command and a bunch of others I can't remember their names.

I had rollerskate tennie shoes and now skeachers(sp?) is coming out with "new" 4 wheelers roller skates :lol That, of course, my son wants, since he wants everything new.

And do you remember pants with ankles so tight you could barley get your foot through?

[Barbie71]

I think I remeber just avout 95% of that list LOL. I loved the 80's those were teh days. Now a days if you don't have th clothes or shoes or what ever you are not in the crowd or you get killed or hurt for the clothes and shoes you do have. I will always remeber the 80's fondly.

[Michelle]

[strawberryfire]
