CROSSFIRE
>>220572203Did anyone ever play this? We never had it but some of my friends did and when I suggested we pull it out they said it was either out of those BB things or parts of it were missing. It sounds like it just sucked, kind of like Mouse Trap (until you activated the trap)
it's like a gift you get on christmas and play it once
Coolest commercial ever.
>>220573862Several of those. The ice breaker game, the toy car that needed 8 batteries.
>>220573833Yeah, me and my nigga Raymond, back in the hood.Of course I got some wild west knockoff for my birthday but I'm not all fucked up about it 35 years later.
The podcast raised by tv has an episode just on commercials. The lite bright was cool. The foam that was water proof. The gas that was just slime that smelled like industrial chemicals. Z bots were fun.
>>220573833i loved the game. i don't remember mouse trap but you just essentially shot little marbles out of a gun to knock a piece into your opponent's end. kind was like air hockey but with gunsi remember it being very satisfying pulling the trigger
>>220572203YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP IN THE
>>220573833Me and my brother had it, but we would make domino forts and put army men on top and see who could knock them down first
>>220575005Z-bots were fucking excellent.I remember the Burger King toys being 1:1 with the regular toys too, that was awesome.
>>220575180My brain immediately read this as Zogbots
>>220575180Zbots, pogs, comic book cards, renting super nintendo games, fagdragging, god damn take me back
>>220575330You've been here too long, fren
>>220575180>>220575427my friend had a bucket of these
>>220575427
>>220573833Yes my buddy had it and it sucked ass. It's like a very gimmicky, annoying version of air hockey. Having to damn near constantly reload the hopper for the gun got tedious real quick, and if one of you decides to not shoot, the other kid is fucked because now all his BBs are in your end zone and he has to beg you for ammo.
>>220575422We are skipping past fagdragging?! Exsqueeze me?!
>>220574887>the toy car that needed 8 batteriesI used to work in electronics retail and every Christmas the store would have piles of shitty remote controlled cars up by the counter. Every single conversation with a customer up until the 24th went like:>oh i'm gonna get one of these for my kid he'll love it>you'll want to buy the rechargeable battery pack for it as well, those batteries are only going to last about 20 minutes max>yeah alright how much is that?>$70>fuck off mate I'll just chuck some AAs in itand then every Boxing Day:>yeah nah gimme a refund this thing's fucking broken, died after 20 minutesEvery year the dumpster out the back was just filled with perfectly functional remote controlled cars that had to be written off because of retarded customers. The batteries were a scam, sure, but then don't buy the fucking cars either.
>>220576291I must have spent over 200 hundred dollars on batteries just beating Pokémon red. They didnt have the power cord in kb toys or toys r us and I had to just rely on batteries. Its the only way I beat lion king, earthworm Jim, and dynamite heady in the game gear, it came with the power cord! Cocksuckers at Nintendo couldnt get it in a package.
>>220576291Those early rechargeable battery packs were ni-cad so you'd charge them from 4 to 6 hours (maybe more for larger packs) and get 10, maybe 15 minutes of run time
>>220576322I think I might have had rechargeable batteries for my old Game Boy Pocket back in the day, I bought it off one of the kids at school so it might have come with a power cable too. I know I finished Blue on it.
>>220576472Yeah, that was also part of the reason they were so difficult to sell to people (and rightfully so).We did have some fast-chargers because those were just coming in at the time, but they cost around the same and would only charge 4 AAs at a time, while most of the cars needed 8.That aside, nobody wanted to spend $70 on batteries for a car that only cost $30-50 on average.
>>220576492Beat the elite four or got all the Pokémon? I only beat the elite four, the douchey kid i traded Pokémon with held my vaporean hostage until I got him more Pokémon past the deal we made and I learned right there and then I wouldn't let anyone lord over me if I could do something about it.
>>220576517Rechargeable batteries are better now, I use some on occasion with my ps3 controller. Works fine.
>>220576530I came close, but didn't get all of them, I lost interest in it not long after that.My brother caught 'em all, even went to one of the mall tour things where they transferred Mew to your game as well.
>>220576560Fuck yeah! I would hear so many rumors about it being located near the ship in the truck that I believed it. Did have mewtwo in my team and was pretty powerful. Can't even remember who was in my main team after all this time. Vaporean, mewtwo, blastoise, pidgeoto?, cant remember.
>>220575180>>220575427Wow you unlocked a core memory for me. I used to own these.
>>220576585Pretty sure I had blastoise, alakazam and I feel like the rest was probably just stacked with the four legendaries because it was the only way to compete with anyone else in school.That may be partly why I gave up on it, never really got into any of the other games after the originals.
>>220576617Me either since I couldnt afford them. Switched to ps2 and whatever my friends let me borrow. There needs to be a remake with direct action input. Like the intro of the game had. The Pikachu version did stir something in me simply because a Pokémon in the world next to you was cool.
I have seen origami Legos at the store. Seems expensive for such a small object.
That race car that flipped was cool. Never got it. There isnt even any toys r us now. Or kb toys.
>>220577585>toys r usits still lives as small section inside Macy's now
>>220572203Every one of my white trash friends had this shit except they lost all the parts and it just sat around and rotted in their basement.
>>220579307What made them earn that derision?
Crossfire, the game where you break the guns off of the board and shoot ball-bearings at people
>>220578431>Those ponies on the groundNo one cares
>>220575180>>220575427These were the shit. There were also the ones that were giant monster mouths that used the same mechanics in a hair clip to open and close
>>220573833It was the most kino of the highest degree game that you could play as a kid against your body and every single battle felt as amazing as that commercial. You wouldn't know unless you played it. Sorry you grew up in the wrong time
This kinda sucked
Anybody else ask for a board game based on a cool commercialGet the game but there's one problem: no frens to play it withGames are gay anyway unless it's single player
For me, it was It From The Pit.
>>220575131THATS WHAT THEY SAY
>>220579819Never seen Jewmangi except for the reboots. I didn't become a Kiki fan until her MAXIM spread. And I was like, "Oh, this actress wants me to goon?!". Not like Elisha Cuthbert who cries about nobody finding her sexually attractive anymore. Maybe shit out a kid and prove you're a mother and not some jersey chaser.
>>220579373Attack Pack, they were also rad as fuck
>>220580301Holy shit, I had no idea those had a name. I cant recall if I had similar ones or not. Its like a false memory. I did have a die cast blackbird jet. Cool af!
>>220580301Those were awesome along with the jet fighter spin-off but not what I was talking about. There was a line of ZBots that were basically like that where it looks like a normal Zbot but it splits between the front and back and is a big monster mouth. I wish I could find a picture of them and the one I had. I remember it was black purple/gold with three serpent looking heads that would open along the back to reveal a mouth with some sharp teeth.>>220580362Yeah those were this aircraft line they release. You're thinking of the black one in the middle. I had it too.

I remember it was black purple/gold with three serpent looking heads that would open along the back to reveal a mouth with some sharp teeth.Oh yeah now I know the ones you're talking about, I have that 3 headed one somewhere in storage still since I'm an unwell hoarder who never threw shit away.They also had a few sets of three that combined, but never very well iirc. And they leaned hard into the mini-Zs later on, I had a bunch.
>>220580534I found it. Bitebots is what they were called. I remember having this one too.
>>220572203This game was made by the Freemasons to get children to engage in Satanic rituals.
>>220576548Yeah, I use them in my wireless XBOX 360 controller when I play games on my PC. Last for weeks per charge and only take like an hour to fully charge. I got the charger with 4 batteries for like $12 at Walmart and haven't bought batteries in years for the controller since. Use the two until they're dead, take the other two off the charger and pop them in the controller and let the dead ones charge. Never have to buy batteries or be without them again, just werx.
>>220579366Those are for actual little girls, Anon. Not fat grown up men who think they're little girls and play with ponies.
>>220580569I definitely still have Braniax there with the big eyeball head.
>>220579335Lel yep. We used to break steak knives and glue them to those fake Freddy gloves they sold and put needles in the end of paper airplanes and throw them at eachother too. Shocking we aren't all maimed in some way or blind. Good times. Now all kids do is sit inside and get molested by perverts they met on roblox if they do leave. Sad.
>>220580679Had the 2 on the right. Would split them into armies and battle them in different arenas around the house. Each one had a special move. I wonder if that is the start of directors.
>>220580679Me too but it was a different color.
>>220580793They made two colour variants of each type from what I recall
>>220580725>Go to family Christmas Eve and all your little cousins and nieces and nephews are sitting around glued to their fucking iPads not even interacting with anyone else>Ask them what they're playing>95% say Roblox>Later on tell your female cousin that they should be watching what they do on that game and tell her about pedos using it to do sick shit to kids>She looks at you like you're crazy and says "It's just a little kids game, it's harmless, what are you talking about?" as she drinks her sixth glass of wine>mfw Pft, whatever, I tried. Just don't expect me to pay for a plane ticket to come to their funeral after Kewl13yoBoyXD turns out to be a 50 year old child molester that talks them into meeting up irl and rapes them to death with a knife because you didn't feel like being a parent.
>>220581189>She looks at you like you're crazy and says "It's just a little kids game, it's harmless, what are you talking about?"Crazy how little normies actually know about the world around them, if they had the sense to be aware of it for even a moment it might terrify them.
>>220581189I had a similar thing happen. Told my sister in law that she shouldn't let my eight year old nephew play roblox unwatched and she acted like I was being stupid and said something like you have to be under 18 to play the game (which is also bullshit) and I replied oh yeah just like you have to be over 18 to look at porn online and she got stunlocked and then said he was fine and to not worry about it. I explained to my brother later what I was talking about and showed him some of the stories about what has happened and he immediately told my nephew he could only play when they were watching him or he could play offline games like solo minecraft until he was older. At least one of the kid's parents has a somewhat working brain.
>>220581246They live in a bubble where they're unable, or refuse, to face facts because it's inconvenient to them. One day reality hits them like a brick to the head and they either wake up or sadly choose to stay ignorant and blame it on something else.
>>220581611>or he could play offline games like solo minecraft until he was olderDo modern game consoles still have local multiplayer games or has couch co-op been abandoned in favor of forever-online garbage?Give that kid a PS2 and a stack of old games, or a 360 even.
>>22057220390s was peak for colorful objects and advertisements
>>220573862I played it a lot on Christmas because all my cousins tried it out, then maybe a handful of other times with kids in the neighborhood. biggest issue was the gun would jam if you, like any dumb kid would, spazzed out on the trigger
>>220581757I have no clue brother. I just wanted him off of roblox and the internet altogether when no one was watching him at EIGHT years old lel. Shameful shit that parents let their iphones and tablets watch their kids nowadays.
thoughts on Pucket?obviously i just want a fun, mechanical game/toy, i don't feel secure enough to go full manchild ;_;
>>220581611i knew age 10 that adults on Habbo would try to "cyber" with me.kids, by their nature, aren't interested. why can't we just inform them, the same way we teach them not to get in a car with strangers?also if you deprive a kid of anything like games/internet/TV, they'll get smart. go round a friend's house. probably grow up to hate you.
