OMG I had them and Meccano, lego, lots and lots of Brio train set stuff and My Little Pony and Sylvanians to even it out.

Me too, I had a Quality Street tin full of Micro Machines, that is until one day my mother decided to give them all to the local oxfam shop

Well... it's not 'normal' to be playing with those sort of toys when you are 36!

Its not normal to suddenly age 9 years or be living at home aged 36 either!

Some great memories in this thread. Here's mine:

I hate you!

I lusted after a Grifter, but ended up with the 'inferior' Chopper

Banana seats rule.

I had one of these:




Thanks mum and dad......

Me too, Quest anyone?

Ah, the Dragon 32. So named because it was capable of displaying 32 colours. Well, 32 shades of green and purple at least.

Edited by Alex on Thursday 4th December 00:22

Thats the 32 bit. The Dragon being because they were a Welsh company

It used an 8-bit 6809 CPU. The 32 was the KB.

I loved the way that the games came on tape and you didn't have a dedicated tape drive but had to use a standard cassette player. Each game came pre-recorded at a different audio level so you had to turn the volume up and down slightly until the game loaded....

My 'Tomahawk' was slightly inferior!

Upgraded to Grifter though - always preferred the Choppers gear lever though!

I swear a whole generation of us were sterilised by that gear lever - oh, that and the 'twist grip' on the Grifter that had a neutral. Just what you needed when you were peddling like mad - crossbar - OOOFF!
