I'm having a moment here trying to figure out the name of this one particular game. Somebody help me!!!

You have these different colored pegs on one side and the opponent has about 5 tries to figure out the same sequence of the pegs you have set up.

WHAT is the name of THAT game?????????

Could that be Battle Ship? It sounds from your discription that it could be, but I'm not sure.

Back in the day, you could find me playing that Babysitter's Club game all day. But at night I was into the outdoor hood games.

I would have to say that almost all of my favorite games have already been mentioned by some of you all, but here is the run down:

1. Clue (brings back those family game night memories)
2. Hungry Hungry Hippos (I use to go at them lil white balls with
a vengence)
3. Monopoly (I don't think we have ever had a honest banker)
4. Scrabble (To this day I think moms cheated on some of those
words back in the day)
5. Operation (The reason I didnt go into medicine)
6. Monkeys in the Barrel

BUT you all have neglected to mention some of the classic games of the 80's....

1. Scategories
2. GUESS WHO!! (How can we forget that game
some of those people just looked a fool)
3. Pictionary
4. Outburst
5. Taboo
6. Gestures (This definately makes for some
embarrasing memories)
7. Mall Maddness (My first experiences with shopping)
