4 pages so far and ain't been stupmed yet, except for the skate key. I made an assumption on that one,
never had skates, but I am pretty sure that's what that one is. My dad brought me the electronic football
home from one of his weekend'ly runs to all the thrift stores in NO. What a time I had with that one.

As for the Zip handle on the smash up derby cars, that was actually used for a product that came BEFORE
Smash-Up Derby, although it was the same basic product. The aim of the original was JUST speed, but of
course, it wasn't long before the excitement of SUD sets came out. As I recall those prior cars were FAST!!
That poured metal alloy central core for the wheel and the massive rubber exterior...you're right, if that thing
skidded off your palm when it was spinning it was a bad deal. And now that I mention it, the Evel Kneivel set
also used a similar zip system. WOW, those cars were bad-a55! I had two of em. A kid that came to visit us
one Christmas from Michigan had a BRAND NEW smash up derby set. I remember that weekend, too, cause he
burned the $hi+ out of his hand on sparkler wires and I blistered mine in touching all three rails of a Lionel Train
track at once. It was a SICK imprint, lol. I am guessing my hand was sweaty, as it often was as a kid.

I'm, sadly, too old for electronic games when I was a kid. We didn't even have calculators until I was finishing high school.

HAHAHA, I just checked out the layout to see which two I had. I had forgotten completely about "The Black Jack".
That was the most bada55 looking car. I also had a King Cobra in purple. I think everyone in my neighborhood had 1.

Oh yeah, the OLD Lincoln Logs had Wooden Roof slats. All you got in plastic was the end supports
for the roof. The roof slats were thin, green and a little splintery and certainly broke "easy" . In my
house they had help.

Yes! And then after we broke a few roof slats, mom or dad would cut a few pieces of cardboard out the same size as the wooden roof slats and color them green with a marker.


And in my house, there were always a few of the longer logs that had chew marks all over one or both ends because we left them out and the dog got to them.

Remember those red & white steroscopic 3D viewers? The ones with the disks you dropped in and there was a lever on the side for advancing to the next picture while you pointed them towards a light. Some even had "companion records" that would narrate the story.

I'm drawing a blank on the name... Viewmatic?

Believe it or not, that was my guess! My mom still has a pair up in their attic! It's funny how the wheels are all pock-marked from rolling on the pavement.

I still have mine, but it's a two player version with controls at both ends and the field in the middle AND it still works!

I have that football game somewhere at home.

I remember the SUD had a ramp with it. I used to use the ramp with the Evel Knevil zip bike and using it to jump my Hot Wheels.

My mom would get so mad when I would zip the bike, and hold it as it screeched on the terrazzo floor.
