The game setup is nice and what you remember from childhood, if you played this growing up. My main disappointment is on the questions for kids. So many of them revolve around pop culture, specific to TV shows, music, and movies. Really? Why cant questions be about more than that, or ask about more recent historical events rather than the name of Hannah Montanas third boyfriend. The kids didn't enjoy it that much because of that. Admittedly we don't watch a lot of TV but even if we did and they knew the answers, it might make me question what they are learning versus what they should be learning. Lots of better games out there to play as a family than this one such as Ticket to Ride or Pandemic. Save your money.

It was fun to play these games again. They worked well on the PS4, but had  fuzzy images but it was nice to play these games from the 1970s and some from the 1980s

Its a fun game, but of course since its a couple of years old, its not as good as the newer ones, but still a classic fun game

This game reminds me of the old tabletop games we played in the 70's (yeah, I'm old).  I remember playing ones like the football game that vibrated and moved the players.  My cousins and I played that for hours.  This is a neat throwback to those games.  It is very refreshing to have a game that doesn't require batteries, a TV screen, or a video game rating.

The carry case unfolds to reveal a large soccer field.  Set up is pretty easy.  The case holds the field, goal nets, 6 players and two soccer balls.  Also included are stickers the kids can place around the field to decorate as well as numbers to mark the players.  The field measures about 22 by 33 inches and it has a felt top.  I suggest floor play is best (instead of a tabletop) so the kids can spread out and not fall out of chairs (the play gets pretty active!).

The players stand on little platforms (to keep them upright) and their legs kick by pressing a lever in their backs.  Here's where the patience is needed.  The kids playing the game found they had to use two hands to keep the players steady and direct the kicks.  It is difficult to get the ball where you want it to go.  It took several moves to get the ball toward the goal.  Blocking is difficult but the more the kids played the more competitive they got because of the difficulty.  It was nice to see the kids use their heads and manual dexterity for something other than a Zombie video game.

After playtime is over everything gets packed back up into the folding case.

I think this is a great game to get kids to interact with each other.  The only issue I have is that there are no girl players and the kids on the box are boys!  Last I checked, a lot of girls play soccer too (my girl played for several years).

EDIT:  I see that there is a girl's soccer team add-on play set available here on Amazon&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Playmobil-Girl-s-Soccer-Team/dp/B000FBFWRA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Playmobil Girl's Soccer Team</a>

I got this just months before the newer, upgraded PSP (the 3000) was released.  Just the same, I've very much enjoyed the console.  This particular bundle comes with the game "Daxter" (a Jak and Daxter title set between Jak I and II), and a UMD sampler of Family Guy episodes.  It also has a small memory stick, just to get you started.

It's interesting how the console wars have played out:  Nintendo's DS is, like the Wii, an excellent gaming device, but little else.  The PSP follows closely in the PS3's footsteps by trying to be less of a gaming console and more of a media player.  It's much bulkier than a Zune or an iPod, but if you're someone who plans on playing games, you can't ask for better.  The PSP's screen is bright and colorful.  Its "cartridges" are actually tiny optical discs called "UMDs" (for "Universal Mini-Disc"), but Sony planned ahead and assembled them in plastic cartridge cases to cut down on dust and scratches.  The unit runs for a decent amount of time on the batteries, varying depending on how bright you set the screen and whether you're playing a disc or reading directly off a Memory Stick.

And that's where the potential grows:  by using Memory Stick technology to enable you to store files, you're now capable of putting together a collection of just about any media you wish:  I have a small stick of photos and a large stick for videos that also holds my savegames.

I've been very impressed by the quality of most of the games I've played on the PSP, and I was pleasantly surprised at how many games there are out there to choose from--I really had no idea.  All the same, there are cons:  UMD movies never really took off, so they're on their way out as a format.  While there is wireless networking, it's really not good for Internet use:  online multiplayer gaming works fine, but the browser is not so good, and trying to type even a password to log into your e-mail can get downright infuriating.  You can subscribe to RSS feeds and read content using the PSP, but it's going to take you some time and tinkering to get it going.

There are some interesting extras to the PSP, however.  Not only has Sony been trying to improve the quality and features with product updates, but the integration with the PS3 is pretty tight:  I can sit at home and access media files through the PS3.  I can read shared media on any multimedia server in my home network (for instance, my Vista machine has made it very easy to listen to my music collction).  I can use a media reader to transfer files of any kind back and forth, I've used both the PS3 and a PC to buy games online and download them to the unit, and as if that isn't enough:  if I load a PlayStation (PS One) game into the PS3, I can play it from anywhere--even away from home--by "connecting" to my PS3 over the Internet.  I'm not sure why only PS 1 titles work, but it's still an interesting extra feature:  I actually have some pretty good PS 1 titles still around.

If you're looking for portable fun, and you have a PS3, the PSP is really the logical choice for you.  If you have no interest in media, or you're thinking of something for smaller children, you might want to go with the Nintendo DS:  it's a little less fragile, and there are more games for all ages.  As for this grown-up gamer and his 9-year-old daughter, we've had a hit on our hands.

Some add-ons you should consider:  a larger Memory Stick, a plastic carrying case (the official Sony case is bulky, but very good), and if you want to have some fun on the big screen, you can buy an audio-video cable to connect to your television (again, Sony's brand-name has turned out better than the aftermarket cable I tried).

I used to play this game with my best friend years ago, and now we live in separate states, so for 40 bucks we can relive old memories over xbox live- and with updated graphics to boot!

I played this game as a child and now I can play it as a child again. I figured out how to reverse aging.

In the 1980's I was a young man and serving in the U.S. Navy Submarine service. I used many of the game systems and early computers listed in the book. So their was a lot of nostalgia for me.

I use to love playing this game whenever my friends would be telling me "here play this for a while" sadly it was always sold out whenever i went to buy it. I was happy to find it here and it will provide you with decent hours of fun. The sound bits in the game are ones from the old TV show so if you watched it when you were younger it will be a nice hit of nostalgia.

It's a pleasant memory of my childhood - and being audio, it gives me eyes a rest.

Just wait I remembered from when I was a kid and our children love it just as much!  The game comes with everything you need to play and it is all placed nicely in a small container.  This is not a disappointer!

Maybe I'm biased because I've played this game as a kid, and now that I'm an adult, I still love it! It's so easy to set up and fun to play!

Wow, can I say flashbacks?!  These are some of the NES games from when I was a kid.  This include Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3 and a few others.  The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because they resolution is not what today's games are.  But I guess that's also part of the nostalgia.  I have had a lot of fun playing this with my kids!

i am a sucker for old games like this! i think it's wonderful and fun and i used to play all the time as a child.

my only issue is that it feels so much cheaper than the traditional set. i got used to it because i hate no choice but it is a person taste issue. the pieces are sturdy and you can't see the numbers behind the tile.
