kerplunk was a great one, my kids think the more balls you get the more points,

Just saw that in the shops yesterday, was horrified to see that they've replaced the marbles with little plastic balls now.

Neither could I, funny that, nobody seems to remember any of the things I remember having, maybe I'm living in some parallel universe of something.

I loved Escape From Colditz.

I am sure that there was another game called 'Escape From Colditz Castle' which was different.

Any ideas.

gotta love Monopoly, Cluedo, Mouse Trap.

Colditz was our fav though..although no-one wanted to be the Germans (not much to do, whilst the Allies plotted together! 60 foot of rope & wirecutters! ahh memories!

Others? Bermuda Triangle (still play it now!), Rebound, Crossfire, Haunted House

We'll have to find a version you can play online, then I will challenge you for the title of Connect 4 champion of the world (or DYR at least).

Found one here.

Unfortunately, unless you pay, you can only make up to 15 moves per day. It's ok if you're just popping in and out from time to time. If anyone wants to challenge me to a game of anything (preferably connect 4, draughts, chess, reversi, backgammon, or battleships), you just need to create a new user ID, then start a new game against steveinoz (that's my username). The games have differents names, but you can work out what is what pretty easily or just read the game rules. Hope to see you there.
