Fun for this 80s kid.

As a child of the 80s and a fan of the after shool cartoon I found this fun and enjoyable. I liked sharing it with my children too.

Hard R from the late 80s / early 90s. Grab some popcorn, your best girl or guy, and have some fun.

My son got this for his 9th birthday, yes, 9th. I've been watching him, his friend, his 11-year old sister, and her friend play with it for the last two hours, dancing and laughing. Any excuse to see themselves on TV I guess. (Reminds me of "Elf Youself" by JibJab.) They've added photos of themselves, their toys, and their dolls, created neat backgrounds, and hooked it up to their iPods. Today is Day One, so we'll see if it holds their interest beyond today. But so far, I'm pretty impressed. The UI is very easy for them to use, so I don't have to be too involved.

I got this for my 13 year old daughter at Christmas time.  I bought it thinking she might enjoy it.  A week later she was laughing at it in the LEGO catalog, thinking it was "lame".  I thought, "Oh No..."  Well, Christmas day came and it was the first thing she opened up.  She must have played it for a couple of hours.
It's a simple game. Once you download the app (ipod touch in our case), you open the app and it gives you a simple project to build.  You build it as fast as you can within the time limit.  You then place it on a small board that looks like a type of graph paper.  Position your device ove the board and it scans it.  You then receive a score.
There is also a game where you play against others but I don't think my kids have played that yet.
Bottom line, I don't think "Life of George" is an especially appealing title.  But, if you can get past that you'll find a unique, fun game.  My 8 year old, my 13 year old, and my 45 year old children LOVE it.  It's not frustrating for the youngest, which is often a problem.  It is not too simple or boring for my older child or my husband.  Recommend!

My sons had a blast with these guns back in the '80s and I still had them to pass on to my 3 grandsons.  Had to buy more so all the "boys" in the family could get in on the fun!  Our retro guns are bright blue and bright yellow-preferable to the black color sold here but still fun to target shoot with.  A nice variation from the umpteen Nerf guns they have.

If you want to be transported back to the 80's and enjoy playing with electronics - this will take you right back there.  Having a blast with my son and daughter making the different experiments together.  Can't beat the family time!  Wish the unit was constructed a bit better - I ended up cutting a thing piece of particle board to put underneath it to make it a little sturdier.

I purchased this for my 8 year old nephew. It was relatively easy for him to put it together with the help of his 13 year old brother. They both had fun!

I got this for my teenage daughter. She has a blast dancing along to some of todays hits. I would caution more conservative parents the songs are the kind played on standard radio, but some of the situational lyrics may be too suggestive for younger ears. there are also some older songs from previous decades as well, so it can be fun for the whole family.

I sent this to my 8 y/o little guy, and he stated that he loves/d it. I just hope the gaming system holds up, as it is somewhat antiquated.

This is really a fun water blaster for the right kids.  Good for Tweens and Preteen kids like it a lot and the shield is cool (although in reality, its only a little bigger than the blaster itself, still kids enjoy it).  The ability to shoot sideways while using the shield is also very cool and surprising the first time.  It is heavy when full, but the strap & grip help alot.

Biggest problems are my 7 year old son can't hold it easily, or pump it fully, and the trigger is too hard for him to squeeze properly.  I suspect next summer it'll work fine for him.  My older son (age 11) and friends, say it works fine.  Shield seems flimsy, but has held up so far (2 weeks).  Even if it breaks, the blaster itself is so big, it can be used alone as a shield.

Distance is good for the older kids and the multiple nozzles are fun.  All in all it fun and can definitely get the kids wet and cool them down on the hot days.

I bought this when my son was less than a year old.  He really like it back then.  Now he is 2 year old and he lost interest on this but still he plays time to time with it.  It kept him pretty busy when he was 1,  by pressing and spinning all those gears with some music.

For parents that may have a child with fine motor development issues, Hasbro's classic board game Operation may be an appropriate and fun activity.

Children that need additional therapy for fine motor skill development often undergo somewhat repetitive activities that exercise certain motions.  Parent's will quickly become familiar with terms like pincer grasp, thumb opposition, tripod grasp, hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, and midline integration.  The game Operation encourages the child in many of these areas in a silly way that children almost always appreciate.

The modern game is much like we remember it as a child  (I don't remember removing a cellphone from the poor patient).  The quality is reasonable.  The smaller pieces must be punched out of a solid piece of plastic before play and a screwdriver is needed to install the (not included) two AA batteries.  It would have been nice if there was some sort of container to store the many small pieces in after play, but a small zip lock bag does the trick.

Overall this is a nostalgic timeless game that has many healthy benefits for certain children.

Not as cool as the mountable bath toys from the 80's, but my kids don't know that and they really enjoy this toy

I ordered this for my 10 year old and I admit, we had a lot of fun with it.

Not bad for a dated game. It's fun and pleasant to go back every once in awhile and retro game.

My 10 yr old son has fun with this robotic arm.  He definitely needed some assistance putting it together though. Once we got the hand of it, he was able to some it by himself with supervision.
