Rock 'em..Sock 'em Robots

[one9]

Anyone remember playing Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots when you were a kid? You know the game where you throw punches at your opponent and try to knock his block off. I was at a store yesterday shopping for my nephew's 7th birthday and saw this game tucked away up on the top shelf. I couldn't believe it. I hadn't seen this game since I had one nearly 40 years ago. We played for hours!

I'm surprised it's still made ! I didn't have it but the neighbor kid did ! I had a pool/ ping pong table though, that was way more betterer !

A pool table trumps Roxy/ Sock's em' robots big time ! .... I called it First !

I had electric football. It was basically a vibrating piece of sheet metal with little plastic men scootin' around on it.

a few years ago we were at my uncle's house and we went into the garage and found some "Rock 'em" and we had a BLAST

my 7 y/o nephew LOVES "hungry hungry hippos" so i play that when he comes over - and in order to make it a learning experience for him - he had to count how many marbles each person had

growing up i also had:

Etch-a-Sketch
Nite Brite (put colored pegs in spots and it made for a cool design when you plugged it in - and it lit up)

but BY FAR the VERY BEST (at the time) Xmas gift we (bro/sis and i) ever got was when we got an Atari game set - we could plug into the TV and play games like Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and stuff like that. At that time - we were in heaven playing those games as well as "Pong"

and who can forget all the "great" games for the Commodore 64 computer :lolBIG:

like a charm...if you didn't catch the pass, its because you ran the wrong route.

I think they brought this back actually, it was off the shelf for years...like many retro toys, this past year it was Atari video games...imagine that, 'wanting' to be less modern!

A pet is better than any toy, esp. a dog, but a cat wll suffce !

Beg to differ, a CAT will NOT suffice!
