I didn't want to bore people and take up space on Chris's blog waffling on about this, but a wonderful load of nostalgic comments followed Chris' great posting about playground games. And this reminded me of the most wonderful game!
Were you allowed to bring your own games into school to play on the last day of term? We were and in my school, the must-have game of the late-eighties was Screwball Scramble the mad maze that was meant to be completed in a minute! I got one for my eleventh birthday, and even now, when I see it, it reminds me of how excited I was when I got it for my birthday, after longing for one for about 3 years! I would play it for hours, though my older sister Clo was so much better at it than me! What a great game!
