[maffew]

Left hand side, middle row is T-Bob and Scott Trakker from M.A.S.K.

Middle, bottom row is the number version of speak'n'spell. Can't remember what it was called. Speak'n'count?? (That doesn't sound right)

MASK correct.

now WTF was that white thing called? remember it well....

The bottom right one is one of the characters from that cartoon where the animals were half one animal and half another.

He was Bumblion or something.

Butterbear from the Wuzzles.

no 2 just got, its one of those 'choose your own adventure' books

 

[Trigger]

The books were called 'chose your own adventure' you chose which way your character wanted to go or what object they should select and then went to a relevant page number - they were cracking - got them all at home still!!!

OMG, I used to love those, when i was kid i always went to look for those first at the library!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Anyone remember the fantasy ones that you read and then selected the page to turn to from what you decided they should do?


'If you drink the potion, turn to page 135

If you decide to stay where you are and nail the wench, turn to page 3'

Superb books. I had loads. Used to be a bit of a buzz round school when someone had got one nobody had read before. If I remember rightly 'The Lizard King' was the most sought after.

Those were the 'Fighting Fantasy' books that were done by Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone (I think) and were great...Had quite a few of them and they must be around at home somewhere.

They've all been recently reissued with new sparkly covers. Bought a box-set for my nephew last Christmas (City of Thieves, Deathtrap Dungeon, Warlock of Firetop Mountain, etc). He seemed well impressed until my other brother gave him some sort of flashing plastic spinning toppy-thingy battle arena. Should have kept them for myself the ungrateful brat.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Anyone remember Catapults & Crossbows? That was hella dope!
