I spent a gazillion hours on this in the 60’s.
Me too
...even with the pins and all the rest of the gizmos, everything I drew looked like this....I spent a gazillion hours on this in the 60’s.
Had several of these when I was a wee Swiftpup. The missiles were fun to shoot at unsuspecting siblings........
Got this one year for Christmas. It was pretty sweet. There was a gravel pit, pipe loader, cargo hauler, etc. If you made the trucks go fast enough you could send them flying off the curves! Also, my cat liked to lay next to the track and swat at the trucks as they went by. It was always fun to see if you could zip them past him without them getting swatted!
And of course like any Star Wars nut that grew up with the original trilogy I had a bunch of the toys! This was one of my favorites.
Waaaaaant! This looks very cool!
I want one of these now!!
The Xenomorph is pretty bad-a**! I have one painted on one of my guitars \w/
And of course around 7th grade or so my brother and I got this for Christmas. This was when the video game addiction really took hold! Atari and ColecoVision were the gateway drugs. NES was our first taste of the hard stuff. Been hooked for almost 30 years now. Jonesing for a PS4. The Xbox360 doesn't quite give the same high anymore
I went nuts when I got a Pulsar Man (!!!!!) for Christmas when I was a tyke.
This was the game that started started the marathon gaming sessions for me. Cheesy commercial but the game was cool. Was the first game whee you could save your progress!
I am a triplet and we got these for Christmas when were were 6. My brothers each got one the size of the silver one, and I got one the size of the red one because I was small. This created competition, I didn't think it was fair that I got a smaller ball , so I was always trying to steal my brothers big balls. Their was a king of the hill/ ball competition between all of us, the King would be the kid who could barrel roll/walk the longest and stayed balanced the longest on the ball (on our knees and hands , we never stood on the balls because we knew we would break our necks). Remember the competition is between three 6 years old, and nobody wanted the small ball, so part of the fun was to see how long you could barrel roll before a jealous sibling plowed you over, thrust the small (but still big ball) into your face and bounced it off your head, and left you dizzy long enough to run of with the big ball.
< for anybody considering making ball jokes.

I was never coordinated enough to get it to work. Duh, spin in a circle, couldn't do it.
There was another drawing thing which would allow one to make a small picture bigger. I can't remember what it was called. It consisted of a framework which connected a stylus, which one would use to trace a picture, to a device held over paper, which had a pencil and which would copy but expand what was being traced.
I remember that. vaguely.
