…the one with all the games.
One of my favorite photos of R and Winkie – her sweater was knit by Carole
Before we get started – did you know that SbJL now offers notions bags that fit into your box bag just so? Go ahead and take a look – but come back because I have a pretty good list this week! (I’ll be putting up more pouches too so keep checking back!)
This week, our directive is ’10 Favorite Games from Your Childhood’. I was more of a reader and less of a game-player but I’m willing to give it a shot – ready?
1. Solitaire. I played it for hours.
2. Ignore-your-sister. Did that for hours too…
3. The Uncle Wiggily Board Game – I’m pretty sure I drove my grandmother nuts with this one.
I’m pretty sure Carole meant ‘board game’ or ‘card game’ or ‘play outside game’ when she came up with this topic, however I didn’t really *do* that so I’m having a problem with keeping to non-computer games which means I’m going to have to break apart from the pack (again…I know) and go with some electronics since I AM a child of the 80’s and have had a computer or a gaming console since the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 came out.
4. Pac Man
5. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy – I loved text-based adventure or mystery games. There was another one that was about Hobbits but I cannot find it for the life of me.
6. Zelda – I played this for days when it came out. Back when Nintendo didn’t have the ability to save your progress and you had to put the controller in a very safe place if you wanted to do other things – you know, like eat. and sleep.
7. Mario!!
8. Pitfall!!
9. Asteroids!!
10. Space Invaders!!
There you go, 10 games from my childhood. Do you have any?
Parcheezi, Solitaire, Xeri ( A Greek card game), Go Fish, Yahtzee. Outside there was tag, dodge ball, tetherball, four square, hide-and-seek on a school campus. Made for lots of hiding places!
Ahh, Space Invaders! Loved that one! I did stick to board games for my list but anything is appropriate, I think.
Carole’s last post …Ten on Tuesday
I COMPLETELY forgot about Uncle Wiggly! I used to play that with my cousins. A lot. We still play Monopoly and Parcheesi with The Boy.
YES!!!! I LOVED the Hitchhiker’s game!!! And now I have to pretend it doesn’t live on my computer until after work! I too was an atari fiend, but I have to say the games I miss most are Q-bert and Space Taxi (on the commodore 128)
for the record, I made the “ignore your sister game” really really hard ; ) xxx
I loved that Hitchhikers game! My brother would bring his computer set up over to my parents’ house, and I would play it for hours! I learned the word analgesic from that game!
Beverly’s last post …Ten on Tuesday- Game Edition
Oh man, my mind never went to computer or videogames! Lemonade Stand and Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago, 7th Guest, Tetris for Gameboy…

That picture is WONDERFUL!
What, you mean like this Hobbit game> :) I played that, too, along with some other Commodore 64 games like “Ducks Ahoy” and “The Cave of the Word Wizard.”
Nicole’s last post …Totoro!
I was so inspired by this topic though it is funny how different our answers are. I am not *that* much older than you, but I grew up in a very low-tech household (My parents didn’t even have cable until I went to college.)

I absolutely adore that picture!! It’s one of my favorites. :)
