The most popular football game at the time was Striker, where you pressed the player's head and he would kick the ball.

I had had this cheaper version, where you had to pull back the players leg and let go, scored some cracking goals though...

Forget James Bond or The Man From Uncle, I had what was a must-have for every budding Carlos-The-Jackal - The "Secret Sam" Attache Case...

The camera really worked and you could use it and/or fire the bullets from the gun 'secretly' when the case was closed - or fire that red thing (a 'secret message holder') to your 'oppo'.


Wonder why don't we give children imaginative toys like this any more?

    • A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.
