70's kids http://community.allhiphop.com/showthread.php?t=295333 (closest I could find)

I was flipping through the paper (trying to deside on Christmas gifts), and saw that they brought back the washable marker bears (I had one, damn, nearly a decade ago) and that got me thinking about pogs, Lisa Frank, Sega, the Mocorana, Giga Pets (wanted one for so long, then played with it for like 10 minutes and lost intrest my Mom was so mad), etc...

What stuff do you guys remember?

I had one of the first video game systems ever made, the Fairchild Channel 1. It had a rudimentary Tic Tac Toe game, a version of Battleship, and a driving game...

You can still find them on Ebay, but I wonder if the console would still work, nearly 30 years later.

They're starting to make old games again, calling them "retro" you migt be able to find one new.
