oh man, that battle ship brings back so many memories! We had that exact same one growing up. Spent hours with my older brother playing that game (he'd always beat me). So jealous of your find! xx
What fun, and what a great find! Thanks, you just solved the what-to-get-your-33-year-old-husband-for-his-birthday dilemma! And Lucy, you make a very cute doggie :0
LOVE battleship -- totally remember playing that with my brother circa 1984 trying to sound like the commercial when announcing "You sunk my batthleship!"
Allana - what a great idea! When my husband walked in and saw it, he didn't sigh (which is what he usually does with my op shop toy finds). Instead he went into a happy dialogue about the version he had as a child (the very original, non-electronic one), and that when someone turned up at school with the electronic version all the students looked on in awe.

ReplyDeleteWe are possibly all about the same age then!

Wow that's classic! I remember my brothers playing that along with Dungeons and Dragons. Lucy is too cute in her costume!
