Scalextric, I remember Christmas morning, probably the early 80's, opening a Scalextric set.

I think I played it non stop ever since.

MelissaLee1 I absolutely loved this game, not sure why, I suppose it was really different to the flat board games.

Screwball Scramble. Totally frustrating but very satisfying when you got a complete run in one go 😁

Technically, the Nintendo NES is a toy and it's still going strong after all these years.

One of my favourite toys from childhood to this day is the iconic Rubik's Cube..

Myself & three of my five siblings can do this puzzle,it usually takes me around 3 minutes.

I kept a Speed Cube at work where an over enthusiastic young shy Support Worker was playing with it,broke it & hid it under the desk when I was off cos he was too embarrassed to tell me,I never mentioned it to him & brought him a sandwich when he was next covering shifts at my service!

I had lots of great toys as a kid but my favourite was the Atari VCS games console. I was on it all the time. I think I had it when I was 11 or 12. Battlezone, Hero, River Raid and Space Invaders were some of my favourite games but not ET or Raiders of the Lost Ark they were awful.

I only had a Hitachi b/w portable TV though so it was some years before I saw the games in colour.
