Spiderman Clip-On Gameboy Advance Light

(before the days of backlit screens, there were clip-on lights for Gameboys)

circa 2002

This light provided my evil kiddies with a light source to secretly play their Gameboys under the covers late into the night. It took me a while to catch on to this trick, I guess my spidey-senses weren't as advanced as they are now.

Yep, just me Cathy thinking out loud about kids, games and spidey senses.

Throwback Thursday #TBT #FisherPrice Great Adventure Western Town CD circa 1997

#TBT

Throwback Thursday

Fisher Price, Great Adventure

Wild Western Town CD

(Minimum System Requirements: Windows 95) 

circa 1997

The Fisher Price Great Adventure CDs (released by The Learning Company) were one of the earliest computer experiences my kids had, and this Wild Western Town CD is the lone survivor of that Great Adventure CD collection that included:

• Wild Western Town
• The Castle
• The Pirate Ship
• Big Action Garage

We had the accompanying Western Town, Pirate Ship, Castle and Big Action Garage toy sets, including the All-In-One Adventures (mini Castle, Pirate, and Western Town). Except for these few characters which I didn't have the heart to let go, I very reluctantly placed the bigger pieces in loving homes, so other kids could have great adventures with them as well. We were big fans of both the CDs and the toys, and they became some of our all time favourites. In my opinion the Great Adventure toy sets and All-In-One toy sets are timeless classics which I sincerely hope Fisher Price brings back. No electronics or bells and whistles, just great toys that provide hours of imaginative fun. 

How about you? Did you have any Great Adventure Toys or CDs?

Yep, just me Cathy Thinking Out Loud about great adventures.
