as a kid?
Was this for me, and I see the Club edition is going for crazy money, if my Nan hadn't stepped on half the players and the dog chewed the rest I could be quids in now.

I finally got one as a child after asking for years and it was a crushing disappointment.
My son keeps asking for one but I can't put him through it....not getting one is definitely better than getting one and realising how rubbish it really is. |  |

True story: my folks got it for me, but as they were packing the car to go away, some sh1t it nicked it out of the boot along with a load of other stuff. |  |

As I've matured I've come to suspect that the reality probably doesn't match up, that's why I took it off my list last year. | |

Had crossfire, always wanted TCR. Worth the electric shock risk |  | | |

T.C.R Total Control Racing...
An upgraded scalextric. The ads blew me away as a 7 year old... It was the 70's
Alas it was all a pipe dream.. Think I ended up with a plastic sword off the market.
But we ate well, and Christmases have never been better... |  | | |

I had TCR with a driverless jam car. It was OK but the person with the fastest car won. You could just drive the cars flat out around the track. |  | | |

I am of an age where I was grateful for any present. We had very little money, so anything way truly appreciated. One year I was given a Gola football. It was such an amazing gift and I was forever grateful to my parents as I know they would have had to save for it. Much simpler times of course. |  |

....you had to try and land a plane on, I think, an aircraft carrier.
You had a wire/string that you tie round a door handle and then you had to stop the plane as it slid along the wire.
Can't remember what it was called, but it was too expensive for us. | |

I was mainly desperate for Britains Farm Toys, with this being the peak achievement. This knackered example is all google has to offer.
Obviously I'm of the era who got all the Star Wars stuff too, though I never had a Millennium Falcon.
The thing I wanted but never got was Scalextric. Sad times. |  |

I used to love playing the original John Madden on the Megadrive. That and the original FIFA.
They looked, and played, amazingly compared to sports games that had come before them. | |
