4. Was Perfection the one with the timer/shapes?

If so I LOVED that game when I was a kid. Would be good for a drinking game too!

6. Mousetrap?

Did anyone ever actually PLAY that game? We just built the trap and triggered it. Over and over and over...

2. My nephew got both this xmas

We played operation for about 3 minutes and Rock'em Sock'em for about 2 hours. It was really fun!

3. Actually, for loud senseless noise and chaos,

I prefer Hungry Hungry Hippos!

5. Tough call, but I had to go with "Operation"

My recollection of Rock'em/Soc'em Robots was that the guy who first established "the angle" won. No tactics beyond that at all.

With 'Operation' at least you could get tired, shakey with fatigue, get your nerves shaken by the other playing distracting you, etc. More play options.

That was pretty fun too.

9. Dear God I remember that game. Fun times.

Could have me some pretty fun drinking games with these.

Barrel O' Monkeys?

10. Robots were fun - but what about "Battling Tops"?

That was cool.
