:clap: Now I'm going to have to see if I can find one of those sets. :thumbup:
But I'll bet that they're no longer just three bucks! :banghead:

I'm not into guns but for $7 i can go for that. maybe for an extra $2 i can get my p.i. license.

As I see it...

video games have taken over . They teach you nothing...at least with those toys we learned pain and injury, strategies, team work etc in real time. All you get from video games is sore thumbs...:roflblack:

Hi Gene,

Re: They teach you nothing...

Let me disagree. The ONLY video/computer game that I have ever played is Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. I learned a lot about world geography playing that game.

YMMV,

i used to have the pistol when i was a kid. i turned out good because i had a tough Italian dad. he used to say to me, IF YOU EVER GET ARRESTED, I WILL BAIL YOU OUT AND GET YOU HOME. but then he said, ONCE I GET YOU HOME, YOUR GOING TO WISH YOU WERE BACK IN JAIL. i believed that man and was always good.

I remember "greenie stickem" caps. When playing guns, I liked that you had to stick the caps on each chamber--similar to reloading actual shells.

Do they still sell "cap" guns these days? :dontknow:

I want one of those! I'll keep in in the save right next to my AR-30.

But when we were kids we played with cowboy-type guns more than cops-and-robbers.

Our games were always pretty "confrontational":
Cops & Robbers
Cowboys & Indians
Astronauts & Aliens
Allies & Axis

But our favorite might have been "Caveman & Other Caveman"
We just beat each other with sticks! :yes:

:shocked: Do you think that's what happened to me?

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

maybe you should have played doctor

 

[Bob Denman]

When we were still beating each other up on the weekends: that game had not yet entered our feeble little minds... nojoke

Some of the girls were the best fighters anyway! :thumbup:

How about Rock-um Sock-um Robots? They were great for stress relief.
