1. Tudor Electric Football
Mine was the Dallas Cowboys VS the Los Angeles Rams. Would always play with it during The NFL Today pregame show or during college football games. The switch went out on it, & I learned you could get better control over the players just by tapping on the field instead of having the guys running wild when the power was used. Threw it away, like a fool, when we moved in 1978.

2. Civil War soldiers & fort
The fort was a wooden one my Grandfather made for us & it had the works: working gate, place for men to defend the walls, the whole damn kit. The blue & gray Civil War soldiers came in fit-to-burst plastic bags of fighters of several stances. They had their own unique aroma. Hours spent slaughtering them with rubber bands, etc.

3. All Pro Football by Ideal
As tedious a game to play as ever was invented. The plastic "line of scrimmage" sped things up a bit . . . only a bit. But it was a blast! Recall my big brother and yours truly playing this early in the mornings after we had delivered our newspapers. Thanks, Bro!

4. Operation
Rather strange game in which you removed the nasty giblets from this slightly obscene & naked caricature of a male patient. You would get a little buzz sound if you weren't careful with your scalpels, pickups, etc. Was always afraid someone would spill a Coke & get us all electrocuted.

5. Dynamite Shack
In this game, you used enormous platic pink thumbs to raise sticks of dynamite in order to drop them down the chimney of a shack that was more like an outhouse. It gave a clacking, clanging-sounding explosion if you took too long, & the roof blew off the thing.

6. Lincoln Logs
One could, & did, make ANYTHING out of these, not just cool log cabins. My favorite were the green roof pieces & stark red chimneys.

7. Tiger Town
Have never been able to find this anywhere since I stumbled into my second childhood. Colorful orange tigers of many poses living in a cool (& plastic) jungle setting. This was technically my sister's, but it still stands out to me.

8. Guerilla Warfare
These I can't locate either. Bags full of colorful Vietnamese posed in various poses of war in a rustic village setting. They had funny hats like fluted lampshades.

9. Battle Cry by Milton Bradley (not Avalon Hill)
All I recall about this is that it had a pretty gameboard & had neato soldiers & was easy to play for a couple kids. I was very into the Civil War back then.

10. Wooden chess set
This came from Mexico. About 18 inches square. Carved pieces. This is another thing that has its own aromas associated with it in my memory.

Let's get down to brass tacks. If you have any of these, no longer want them & are feeling charitable, please forward . . .
