Bigfoot Wreck 'N Roll Arena:
This thing could have been all I got for Christmas that year, and I wouldn't have cared in the SLIGHTEST.

I had this one, and another one that had a battery operated truck, and the crushable cars were bigger. I used to make tons of cars out of regular aluminum foil, and then have the trucks crush lines of like, 50 cars.

I used to be able to take the action figures apart, and then combine limbs and heads with Play-Doh to create horrible, graphically violent scenes that my dad would record with the video camera as I made the action figures act the scenes out.


Fingerboards
I remember when everybody in my junior high had one of these. Teachers got some pissed eventually. I had a few different boards, and one of the mini parks they made.

I had this, but I never got to pour the slime through the roof. I wanted to wait for the PERFECT occasion to dump the slime all over it, but it never came, and then I eventually lost the slime.

In retrospect, that commercial is pretty morbid.

Mouse Trap:

I don't remember really playing this game as much as I remember just setting up the mouse trip, simply to watch it once activated.

Good. Fucking. Times. Couldn't find the real commercial, but this one's OK. I remember being about 5 or 6 years old while playing this, and then asking my friend's cousin (who was probably in his teens at the time) if he'd ever had tornado sex.

And of course there was the SNES, Sega, NES, GameGear, and PlayStation (Destruction Derby 1 used to be my WoW in 1996).

There are more, but they seem to escape me right now.
