Speak And Spell : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
"Spell February" Errrrm... f e b u a r y
"INCORRECT!" Damn it! Damn February and geraniums and Wednesday and all those other words that we couldn\'t spell. Just when you thought you were going to ace
Speak & Spell for the first time, it would always throw in one word that would trip you up. Evil. But irresistible.

Rubik\'s Cube : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
OK, so it may have been designed in the \'70s, but the
Rubik\'s Cube aka the most infuriating puzzle in the world ever, went truly stellar in the \'80s - so much so that it became something of a representative symbol of the decade. Hands up all those yet to solve it?

Transformers : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
Transformers, more than meet the eyes! Who can forget that advert blasting out at every opportunity during the breaks of Saturday morning TV? One minute they were robots, the next they were cars, dinosaurs, guns or just a depressing little boulder. The more money you spent - the better the transformation. How much more \'80s can you get?

Care Bears : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
There was a time in the ‘80s when it seemed everyone had at least one
Care Bear. Generally, the more bears you had, the cooler you were. And there was always one girl in your class at school that had the whole damn lot of them (plushes and placcies). We loved Birthday Bear, Grumpy Bear and Funshine Bear the most - but who were your faves?

He-Man action figures & Castle Grayskull : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
Some of you may scoff but there are those among us who would secretly love to indulge in a game of He-Man vs Skeletor with their brothers - especially if you got to be Teela or Evil-Lyn. Even on days when your brother wasn\'t around, we bet we weren\'t alone in getting out the He-Man stuff to indulge in the more romantic game of He-Man and Teela get it on. No? Just us then...

Fashion Wheel : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
Woe betide the day we foolishly took our Fashion Wheel to the local Blue Peter Bring And Buy Sale. We should have known that in years to come we\'d be desperate to run our thick black crayon over a new fashion creation, colour it in, then cut it out with the those beloved blunt scissors provided.

Fighting Fantasy books : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
You see a small leather pouch on the ground. If you stop to take a look at what\'s inside turn to page 319. If you ignore the pouch and keep on walking turn to page 210. Oh, the dilemmas these gripping little adventure books would throw in your face - you just never knew what dreaded error you could make simply by picking up the wrong item or taking the wrong path. Happy days. Thank you Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone for bringing these fabulous tales of aliens, mad professors and demonic creatures into our lives!

Paul Daniels Magic Set : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
You just weren\'t cool in the \'80s if you didn\'t have a Paul Daniel Magic Set. Remember all those hours you spent practising tricks that required multi-coloured cups and miniature pompoms? Or that magic wand with the surprise hanky stuffed in its core. How many impromptu magic shows did you put your parents through?

Lolo ball : Top 10 \'80s toys and games
Boing, boing, boing, "Argh! My knee". Every parent\'s worst nightmare, every kid\'s idea of a cracking good time. Lolo (or pogo) balls were the cause of much giggly, nervous excitement, and many a grazed knee/chipped tooth. Aerial kick anyone?
