Brings back some awesome memories

Rubiks games always pissed me right off, I was never any good at them

Remember the Gremlins toys but I was scared of them

I swear we must still have a Vic 20 up in the attic somewehere along with a few hundred games on tape

Had both Tomahawk and Chopper, both secondhand reconditioned by my dad so were like new.
A mate had a Black Raleigh Ultra Burner (cool), but his nan (who bought it for him) made him have mud guards on it

For gaming nothing beats the Atari console, Pacman, Sapace invaders etc.

Isn't it strange, i cant imagine kids having second hand bikes anymore, not like we had, my Dad bought me a second hand Grifter but got some new Stickers for it and I loved it , He also hammerited my Tomahawk in 70's-tastic green and I was so grateful to just have a cool bike, this day and age your average kid would want an 800 quid Marin and would probably still moan about that
