I remember lawn darts!

They scared the bejaysus outta me but I figgered if everyone else was using them then they were OK.

Oh and Hairy...I think I recall my brothers getting a whack or two from a Hot Wheels track too.

My parents wouldn't have them. Can't imagine why...

But they had them at my Uncle's house and they looked SO COOL!

I had stay alive too.

When playing it with my friend we found ourselves reciting the commercial...

"I'm gonna block that strategy!"
"I'm out!"
