Totopoly was brilliant, still in the attic somewhere. My mates had all the best ones, fighting robots, tank command, battling tops

I had subbuteo rugby, hated rugby, used to play football on the rugby pitch with the rugby posts as nets. Plus side was each team had 5 subs :)
 


First present I can remember about Early - Mid 1970s. Between 1975 - 1981 I also got.

Scelextric.
Subbuteo.
Matchbox car track with hoops.
Snooker Table.
Telescope.
Scramble game.
Electronic Chess Game.
Thousands of small plastic toy soldiers in various sets with plastic buildings and I think there were 2 pill-box type things which fired ammo shaped liked tiddlywinks.( could be my memory playing tricks).

Can't remember what year was what. All changed in 1982 when I got my ZX Spectrum was only intereted in computer games after that.

Was really pissed off with the scramble game as it was nothing like the arcade game Ioved.



One of the best games I had for the Spectrum was one called Penetrator which was much more like SCramble arcade than the grandstand one.
