I played Stratego, APBA baseball, Risk, Monopoly, and Battleship.

Acquire is a very good game also!

anyone remember that football game that vibrates little plastic football guys around? back in the day that was like $25-$30. i remember i always wanted one, but we were so poor we couldn't afford it until i was "older". my parents bought it and i played it a few times, but it was never as good as i thought it would be.

what in the hell was it's name?

Electric Football.

We played Hall Of Fame FB with those off/def overlaying sheets. Loved that game.

Gil Hodges baseball..

SI Pro Football was awesome.

Cadaco All-Star baseball. I ran fantasy drafts when I was 8.

There was another FB with overlaying realistic pro off/def cards and then you pulled a spring loaded ball for the play result. What was the name of that?

gamesbyemail.com We definitely played all of the same games!

There is a great gaming site at www.brettspielwelt.de. It helps to know a little German

but there are lots of games to choose from and thousands of people online playing them. Another good site is www.boardgamegeek.com. It rates all of the games and gives great reviews. There is also a rules and strategy section for each game. The good part is that everything is written by anyone who goes to the site.
