Last night I was watching television when a man mentioned the classic game GNIP GNOP. I knew the name but couldn't remember the actual game. While searching I found this site. Mrs. Beasley Doll is featured on here too. The infamous doll from Family Affair.

I vaguely remember Gnip Gnop. I think we had some great games when we were kids, well, I thought they were cool. Battleship, Connect Four, Trouble, Sorry! In fact, my family still likes to play boards games from time to time. I think those games are still sold at Wal-mart.

Anybody remember Sit-n-Spin?

TJL · 04-23-2007, 05:56 PM

One of those sites mentioned VirtiBird by Mattel. That was a great toy!

Hours of fun trying to fly that sucker.

OMG Irene, I remember Zody's and Two Guys!!!

Okay do you remember Akron's and Whitefront's?

We did have some great toys, not like today. Anyone remember the game "Tip-It"?

Zoneboy · 04-24-2007, 01:25 AM

My favorite toy when I was a kid.

Kazza · 04-24-2007, 07:07 AM

There's my 'Chatter telephone'.

It brings me back to when I was 3-4 years old!

My brother had the Rock Em Sock Em Robots when he was a kid. I had a doll called Susie Smart that talked when you pulled her cord and she came with a little desk and a little chalk board. My sister had a doll called Tippy Toes. Boy does that bring back the memories.

Hmmm, those names don't ring a bell, maybe those were not around here.

Is this the Tip-it game you are referring to?
