Couldn't find a commercial for 'Hugo: Man of a thousand faces' but that was some creepy shat to have in the house

I remember getting Jimmy as a present 1 year .
Anyone know this game ?

Crossfire was ace. Later banned because of the ball bearings danger to kids - kids ruin everything.

Jimmy rings a bell.....

I remember my older brother having this one which fascinated me.

Don’t remember that Hugo game at all ?? Maybe an American only one ?

Before I got into snooker and then home computers took over Striker and then Super Striker were my absolute favourites. Played for hours. Couldn’t find an advert but the guy in the video below discusses it at 5 mins 37.

There was subbuteo and a table cricket game that was good.

Mark I think Hugo was a Kenner toy, definitely one of a kind. Little bald puppet dude in a blue tunic that came with hundreds of 'disguises' like wigs, scars, eyebrows etc. Used to wake up in the middle of the night with that little creeper fecker on the dresser and have nightmares.

'Football' reminded me of these instant classics! The first version and second were all over the school yard . Thinking about it..has to be considered close to the very 1st widely popular hand-held device for kids? Now they just have phones to zone out on . EDIT...apparently now you can leave the 's' on https for vid to show up. Awesome.

Ha kids today must look back at those things and think wtf is that.

Cool ad with Terry Bradshaw. Didn’t know how he was till I watched Better Late Than Never a couple of years ago. Top bloke and very funny.

Really wish I’d kept some of my old games.

I let all my Star Wars collection go in 1992 for 25 quid just to fund a night out as a student

About 30 figures, most still with guns the millennium falcon and Slave 1.......
