    Wow.. really? I was born in late 72 and remember doing these when I was about 10. I feel like we bought them from the drug store or something. I loved them. My favorite was the Scooby-Doo and then there was a sweet Battle of the Midway one too.

    I just looked on Ebay and there was a "Superman Saves Metropolis" one available, which was also a masterpiece.

    This was the first time I heard of Bruce as a kid. Not Moonlighting or Die Hard but this. Good thing he stuck to his day job.

    Except they were funny to kids and adults unlike today's kiddie crap. Millennials don't know how great 80s kids and 90s teens like me had it.

    I wanted one so bad when I was 9 but I knew I couldn't have it because I was too young to stay up that late.

    Me too! One of the best TV theme songs ever, too.

    One of my favorite board games from wa-a-ay back (and I believe it is still made!):


    But the one I really want which I have not found at anything close to reasonable in price is Elmer Wheeler's Fat Boys game. Not so much for the excitement of the game as for sheer nostalgia!

    As a kid, nothing beat Chutes & Ladders and Parcheesi for board games.

    Do families still get together and play those?

    Parcheesi! Another favorite from back in the day. I have the same game we played when I was a kid. Great game!
