You got 12 out of 13
This counted as a video game in the 1960s. You had to use your imagination. But how was your memory? Share your results!

Missed #13.

8/13, but I wasn't born until 1972, so I figure that's pretty good.

I was born in 1964 and I had one in the 70s.

some of these came after the 60's. i didnt know the toys aimed at boys, so i skipped over those. our toy genders were sharply separated, back then. (altho i wasnt much interested in the ones aimed at domesticating girls, either, i was well aware of them, because they were pushed in our faces from every side.) i preferred doing what the boys did.

Why would they name Barbies sister Skipper, And who would want a toy dog named Gaylord Or a doll named flatsy . Bet I know why those toys failed .

my teen cousin lived in a house full of geriatric adults and she drove them crazy-intenntionally- by walking around the house, singing the "gaylord" commercial ad nauseum. it was a toy for kids who wanted a dog, but whose parents didnt.

Which one was a video game? I didn't see any games, video or otherwise. Was it something you placed on the TV screen?
