I had some giant shogun warriors. Anyone else remember or have these too? I had the middle 3 on the picture below. These things were huge! About 2 feet tall I think.
Pretty sure they are still hiding in my parents storage somewhere too.
Yeah the fists shot off of two of the ones I had. One had missiles that shot from the legs, the other had missiles that shot from the chest. (kinda looks like nipples when loaded)
I also had that rocket hockey game. Thanks for finding the picture, I had forgotten about that one. Man it was loud.
That wasn't it. I made an attempt to draw it in Paint, and hopefully I can link to an image in facebook:
I also remember Blip. We used to sometimes play it blind- turning off the light. That was until I memorized the pattern, then nobody would play it with me anymore.
Edit- looks like I can't link to it in facebook.
Edit X2- got a buddy to host it for me.
i remember those thingers...can't for the life of me remember the name of 'em though
bobblehead, you say lego is an obscure 80's toy? man, i still play with that stuff (got my little brother hooked on the stuff now)

I guess it wasn't obscure.
And I recognize those round things too, but can't remember ever hearing the name of them.

I also remember a friend of mine had a football game, with a bunch of men, and they had magnets on the bottom of their feet. You would turn it on, and the table would shake and the players would move. I don't remember anyone ever winning a game of that as they would just kind of shake in circles.
Electric football!
I vaguely recall some comedy skit (SNL?) where this pro football coach lost his job because he designed his plays based on this game. "OK, Billy, you go around in circles in the backfield. Tank, you just head straight out of bounds and fall over. Joe, you just stand in place and keep vibrating."

There was a Simpsons episode where Homer was coaching Bart's football team and drew up the game plan that way. It wouldn't surprise me if someone did the same joke before that.

I had the same one greyshep, my brother had the one to the left of it. Little red (i think) things shot out of the hand. I thinkk the fist shot off one of them too.
Jiri, this game?
That was fun
I loved that game! (And I'm a girl, btw) I think my parents may still have that game in the basement... I might have to go looking for it next time I'm home... I remember a lot of these toys you guys are talking about - having older brothers was great - I got to play with their toys AND I got girlie stuff too - toy jackpot!
Sectaurs: Giant, electronic bug puppets with guys that would ride on them. I had a huge dragon fly.
Wow is it ever a long time since I heard that name. I used to have some awesome audio story tapes for Sectaures that I listened to all the time as well. I loved those tapes.
