Remember the good old days -- approximately 20 years ago -- where you had to partake in real, physical activities that made you interact with other people your age?
And not only did you have a lot of fun, you were so passionate and into it, you end up fighting one another over some game.
Here are 11 of those games you used to play with while growing up that kept you occupied for hours on end last time:
1. Rummy-O
It made you feel like you were playing Mahjong, just like the adults.
2. Subbuteo tabletop soccer game
Flick like a pro.
3. Mighty Max
It was Polly Pocket for dudes! And the cartoon was pretty sweet as well.
4. Polly Pocket
And for the ladies.
5. An actual playground with sand
We were pretty much Spartans. Jumping from high places, having sand in our mouths and digging holes and setting up booby traps.
Who needs that new soft, padded ground?
6. Monster in My Pocket
Buy one Slurpee and you get a pack of three cards. I remember the Great Beast being labelled "No.1", hence, we assumed it was the most rare card in the world.
7. Caps
Slam those bad boys. Whichever turns facing up, you win them if you were playing for keeps. It felt like real gambling.
We were bad boys.
8. Country erasers
Fact 1: They were not used as actual erasers.
Fact 2: They were used for that game. You know, where we took turns flipping these bad boys to see who got on top of the other.
Fact 3: We actually called them Country Rubber, not country erasers.
Fact 4: The bookshop uncle at school must have made a fortune from selling these.
9. Plasticine
Arts and craft?! More like, rolling them into random balls to throw at each other.
10. Hungry Hungry Hippos
This game encourages the sort of mentality that really appeals to kiasu Singaporeans and rubs them the right way.
11. This totally nameless pencil/ pen-paper game
It was kind of like Subbuteo but on a budget. You take turns to launch your pencil or pen across the paper to make skid marks.
You'd take off again from where the last skid mark ended and, eventually, you try to get as many skid marks as possible to cross your opponent's end or into their "net" to "score" a goal.
So simple, yet so fun.
