LOL...i never "got it" with those things.

 

[Stiganator]

I had some cheap ones, but I couldn't afford nice ones or a good slammer

 

[BigJ]

My slammer is bigger and better than your slammer.

 

[pyonir]

Ohh...i think had a New England Patriots slammer for some reason. I think that was the only pog i ever owned...and i have NO clue where i got it or why.

 

[nageov3t]

I was never into it, but I totally remember other kids playing it in junior high

 

[Orsorum]

Milhouse: I'm really sorry...I kind of traded your soul to the guy at the comic book store. But look! I got some cool pogs: [shows them] Alf pogs! Remember Alf? He's back...in pog form.

Nope

I remember liking it, but I was in 1st grade when they became popular and don't remember how to play

 

[Ika]

Yeah. Never got into them, though. I remember I had a few pogs from like... cereal boxes and stuff. I know I had a Green Bay Packers pog. I was like... 6 at the time...

 

[Heller]

holy shit how long ago was this???? i remember playing with them very long time ago..

I do remember them. I was in elementary school... they were pretty big for a while where I lived.
Geeze... I feel old.

I collected the slammers. Then I would win the normal ones. Then I gave it all away cause it's not the "girly" thing to have.

I used to love those things. I've got a tin with hundreds (if not thousands) of pogs in it around somewhere (and a slammer that flashes and makes noises when you use it).

When the premiership pogs first came out I got a Man-U shiny in my first pack (that I got free with The Beano, IIRC). I swapped it with someone for a Gameboy cart.

Had a big tub of the Star Wars pogs, but I'm not sure what happened to that. Probably got lost during a move.

I must've been ~12 or so when I was into pogs. Damn, can't believe it was ~13 years ago that I was playing pogs at middle school.

 

[dethman]

mmm...alf pog...

 

[Spineshank]

I had a whole bunch. Had some good slammers too. I think i still have the slammers actually.

 

[CptCrunch]

I remember these guys, had a few good slammers and some decent pogs, i still have my pogs that the boyscouts gave me (They were made by the boyscouts that were used as a learning tool)

 

[livingsacrifice]

I was digging around in the parents garage yesterday and found my pog collection along with baseball cards and action figures. It was fun messing around with that stuff for a while.

 

[mcvickj]

I still have my collection but it hasn't seen the light of day in 14 years. I remember playing it a lot during middle school.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Whippersnappers! Real players play Tiddlywinks!

 

[pontifex]

yep, i vaguely remember them from either elementary school or maybe early HS.

 

[purbeast0]

hell yea man i still have mine. at this arcade there used to be a pog machine where you could win pogs and slammers. it was one of those that was a circle and had a dome over it, and it had pogs/slammers on the inside spinning around in circles, and you push a button and the lever pushes towards the hole as the thing spins around. that machine had THE BEST SLAMMERS I ever saw.

pog was like the first time i actually gambled too. we used to play for keeps

 

[Canai]

Yeah, back in grade school I used to play it pretty hardcore.

 

[nakedfrog]

I got some with an issue of Nintendo Power, but I think I was beyond the age group that played them.

 

[Safeway]

Man, I had solid steal slammers and like 3000 Pogs.
