What was popular when you were at school?

[fruitnveg]

Pokémon cards, Yu-gi-oh cards and those rubber wristbands that charities sell nowadays. The number of wristbands you were wearing was directly proportional to how cool you were. I had about 20 on at any given time

Yeah, I didn't wear any

Doublers (tea cards)
K Knockers those two pool ball things on string (smash your wrists)
Two tone clothing
Shoes from Ziggys (loafers with tassles and things that resembled ping pong bats) trousers from Stunning rags.
Crombies
Wagon Wheels the size of Wagon Wheels

I always thought they were called "Clackers". Apart from being good for breaking wrists, they were also handy for bringing down cattle by the ankles if you happened to be out on the Pampas.

You got it, Clackers, bloody painful things.

As I got older, as well as knuckles, we used to play an alternative version where you'd take it in turns, one would rest their knuckles on the table, and the other would fire coins across the table into said knuckles. Was simply a game of endurance! The majority of our classroom tables had blood stains...

We used to play "knuckles" where the first person to give in after receiving a ridiculous amount of damage to their hands (via text books) would lose.

I'm actually cringing now thinking about the state of my hands at the end of the day. Horrendous.

Digimon, some weird battle game when you connect to mini devices, similar to tamagochi which was also popular!

Yo yo's , I specifically remember having an X-Brain, whatever that means!

Pokemon also, I bought a magazine which had a free packet inside and had such a rare one (Moltres?) I went straight down to Dave's Books and sold it for 30 quid!

Anyone here play Netropolis back in the day? I used to arrive early to school to play it, my school football team mates used to give me a lot of banter for my geeky side!
