Continuing the discussion from Discussions with your boss:
Silly toys of childhood days ...
*sigh*Hours of happiness.

LOL, that last thing, I saw a "review" of that
Made me want to make a clock using that "technology" :D

As long as your clock uses 4x D size batteries.

Silly thing is that my original STILL works! I handed it over to my daughter to play those amazing games.

I didn't have a Gameboy until years after they were cool. I lived in a Sega household, apart from these exceptions:

I have two Colors - they seem to be in this nice time period when they're too old to be worth anything, but too new to be considered antiques. Also a flash cart, since finding games is a bit of a PITA nowadays.
I had one of those things:
Basically a toy laptop with some math/geography/German edutainment games, but also a few utilities like a calendar, address book, and most importantly a BASIC interpreter. Guess what I ended up doing most of the time...

Almost missed this one:
No dolls but I had this one and a couple of others:

This is the most silly thing I've seen lately:
Make your case.

My childhood may have been a little different XD

When I had this, all the cool kids had a NES or a Master System. We got a Master System when everyone else was moving on to the SNES/Mega Drive

Hey I still have that one!
Also
http://img.gamefaqs.net/screens/d/0/5/gfs_25426_2_3.jpgThat's an MSX game, Hyper Rally. My father works in an electronics company and they were making an arcade machine that was an (unlicensed, illegal) clone of it, so he brought it home and let me play it. It was already over 10 years old by then (the game, I was younger) but I still found it amazing.

Here was my entire childhood:

Well, you were poor but my dad was "alternative" since when everyone had the Atari I had one of these:

They made a phone that plays Donkey Kong?

One of the best was "model rockets" made with:

IDKFA, wasn't it?

He's in the second room with all arms, full amo & 200% armor and you complain about the keys?

Something something 'I played lame Doom mods before they were cool' something something.

Chex Quest 3?

CQ1. Well, might be CQ2 but it was one of the first hits in my GIS.

But that's the Hacx SuperShotgun, isn't it? That one wasn't in CQ1.

Holy crap this just reminded me of my favorite toy as a kid:
My brother and I must have re-enacted BTTF3 1000000000 times with one of those.
Best. Toy. Ever.

He's wearing a cooking pot for a hat, so of course we called him "Pot Head", totally clueless to any other possible meaning...
-
oh man, I always wanted one of those.
-
I had 2! One was my dad's, it must have been from the 70s. It was 150 in one but in the wooden frame as above. Stuff like that was pure magic for a 10 year old.

Wanking to MTV music video sluts.

I had that one too!

I was trying to find an image of Cardfile, which I used to create my own Pokedex for my imaginary pretend backyard games.

I loved that thing.

Most of our interesting toys were things for building things. Lego, K'Nex, Meccano, the lot.
We also had Duplo, which is giant Lego for toddlers:
