Also one of these was high on my list. Never got one

I had one of these. It was Awesome!

As for mine it was a BMX.

Ended up with a Grifter. Weighed a ton in comparison!

Ah ha, here is the wild cat bike. I definately did have one of those, the face of the panther or whatever brought back all the memories in an instant.

Good times.

Haha I had one of those! The control panel at the front!

Good times indeed

The technology on my bike ammounted to one of these sirens

hahaha, I had one of them on my Raleigh Boxer, made 3 different siren noises.

I always wanted a Knight Rider radio control car but never got one, just got a normal one, a Porsche I think.

had a lot of the games posted in this thread though, including this:

I was really into Lego, especially the Space stuff, loved my Blacktron Starbase.

oh my god I completely forgot about this - I think I had one but it might have featured spaceships instead? Anyway the effect wasn't quite as depicted on the box as I recall

This thread has prompted me to build a Haro Freestyler BMX.

Always wanted one when i was younger (made do with an Ammaco Freestyler Pro instead) but now i can afford to build one.

Here's a pic of the sort of thing i'm looking at doing.

Playtime methinks

What did the control pad actually do? I wasn't fortunate enough to have one myself, and i only had passing glimpses of it when other kids would ride past

Who remembers Manta Force?

Mr_L said:
I do.

I had the Manta Battle Fortress and the Red Venom. One of my friends had the Manta Force ship, we had some prety intense battles in my front room.

I also had both the ships, however my most memorible battles took place outside as my mum's flower beds were an ideal battle ground and I'm sure that half of my soilders are still buried in my parents back garden!

I got the Gameboy, Mega Drive but what I really wanted was this:

Thundercats - Cats Lair:

I had the Thundertank

I had all the figures...But I always wanted the lair and never got it

I also remember having the Sword of Omen Toy

Valo · 30 Nov 2006 at 16:28

While I was searching for a picture of the Sword of Omen I found the real thing :eek:

For me, it was always

I have Mouse Trap, and it isn't all that good. One of the inherent design flaws with that style of game is that is takes ages to set it all up. I remember the net to catch the mice was especially difficult, especially for the less dexterous children's fingers.
