What games have been forgotten and no longer with us that were fun when you were a kid?

Here’s a fun one from the 1980s! We played this EVERY DAY one summer in junior high!

Battleship

I made my little cousins play Battleship just yesterday ! A blast from the past !

How many remember this one?

How many remember this one?

Oh yes! We never actually played the game, just had fun building and playing with the “cooties”!

I remember this! We didn't have it, but a neighbor kid had it, and we made some rubber bugs with it.

My older sister and her friends used to play a game called Mystery Date. I doubt anybody here would remember that one, as it was for girls. This way way back during the '60s.

I had a game called Mouse Trap (or I think that's what it was called) that I found fascinating.

Oh yeah! We had mousetrap! We didn’t play that one either, just set up the Rube Goldberg contraption and watched it go!

How about “Trouble” with POP-O-MATIC!

My grandparents had a football game like this with a vibrating field to move the players!

This was a favorite toy when I was a kid, my brother had one also. We would swap out the good parts, for the smashed parts, and then crash them into each other.

Found this in my parents closet, only adults were allowed to play.

I'm sure it wouldn't even raise an eyebrow nowadays.

Reminds me of this one that I had as a kid!

Love seeing the parts fly off!

Also The Game of Life. Or simply 'Life'.

Battleship and Connect 4 and Candy Land and Jenga were some of my favorites.

My grandparents had these also when we went to visit:
