No, I don't mean it like that, or in a bad way at all.

It's just that sometimes it seems you go out of your way to force in a dig at the US, and I know see that it's something you've been exposed to since childhood.
Or, it could be I'm full of shit and completely misreading you.

Oh, I see... But I think it had more to do just with that America's wars around the world were on news even back then and it's easy for children to get inspired from what they see and hear from TV...
Traditionally here Americans are not hated and it's not like somebody daily told me "Americans are bad" when I was a kid  ;D

We used to play a game called "Bruce Lee" where the only rule was no kicking in the nuts.  One Person is Bruce Lee and the rest are Ninjas and Bruce Lee has to fight off all of the Ninjas.  As Bruce Lee, if you knock someone to the ground, that person then becomes Bruce Lee and the rest are Ninjas.


But my favorite game was playing War outside in the entire neighborhood.  That or climbing trees.

all you rich bastards with your toys  ::)

we were dirt poor. played cowboys and indians with homemade bows and arrows. guns were a suitably shaped twig  :-[

same with army games.. machine guns were branches we pulled from trees  :-\

cricket bats were usually made from a stolen piece of somebody's fence. the wicket, a couple of milk crates.

most games were outdoor street games with little or no equipment.

the kids with the good stuff were usually chubby no mates  ;D

Still one of the best Christmas gift I ever received.

Awesome.  Ever have any Micronauts?  I loved those things.... The set below was incredibe - really strong magnets / metal pieces and they actually shot missiles  in the beginning until they stopped letting them do that.  Horse and commander were interchangeable, could switch out legs for wheels, fists shot out of arms etc...








Some were battery powered.  And, after looking up this pic, I just realized as a kid I never questioned the placement of Microtron's spinning drill:

When I was like 2 or 3 I had this purple VW beetle made out of aluminum with a plastic chassis and a tow hitch, that I had attached some kind of morter cannon on wheels to.

I played with that thing until the VW tow hitch broke off... Mom says I cried and cried. (I do not remember this)

As a pre-teen I had tons of transformers and GI Joes... Even had the big Voltron Toys like both of these.




I got into Centurions there as well for a hot minute.

That was a GREAT game.

I remember spending HOURS playing RAD Racer also on the original NES.
