Two teams, each in a line facing the opposition standing on one leg with arms folded and elbows pointed outwards.....

Hopping towards your foe with the objective of knocking them over or getting off with Jenny Greaves.

 

I'm sure that the British Bulldog I played at school involved attempting to run across the playground avoiding being caught by the "Bulldog". Or was that something else? I confuse easily :confused:

Global Hypercolour T-shirts! Oh yeah, the elation when i finally got one and the fear of how it would come out the first time it went in the wash!

 

Amiga what a computer that was back in the day! Compared to my Commodore 64 it was Intel Core Duo of it's days.......

.... Oh and the distress my Commodore 64 keyboard would indure when Playing HyperSports on the swimming bit I remember smacking those keys like my life depended on it!

 

Anyone remember that range of those "State of the Art" 3D game things which were like binoculars and you held em to your eyes and control it from the sides, wonder what they'd be like to play now!:)

...........Not forgetting Mr Timmy Mallet "WACADAY" and the Wide Awake Club, "Bonk and Boob" Sounds like bit seedy game for kids to play now but lets wave your WAC plaster stuck on your chin to the people at home!:rlol:

Yeah that's how I remember it too. It used to 'played' by about 50 or 60 lads with about half standing in the middle and the other half trying to get across the field/playground without being stopped by the guys in the middle.

It used to get quite physical, as I recall.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.

 

 

 

 

 

We couldn't afford water balloons so we used washing up liquid bottles that made the kids cry because of the soapy water.:D

 

Cant believe my childhood days have gone.:rolleyes:
