A long time ago, my two brothers and I played marathon games of Risk or Monopoly every night for months.

And an even longer time ago, my favorite toy was Mr. Machine-- this wind up mechanical man you could take apart and put back together. Bunches of internal gears and linkages that had to go together exactly right or he wouldn't work. By some chance of luck we got 3 of 'em at once, all mixed together in a big box with no instructions. 'Bout a week of trial and error, but boy was it fun.

I've often wondered why you and I seem to be almost always in agreement in the threads we reply to. Maybe we've found the causative link- the early childhood influence of Mr Machine. Now we gotta ask some of the folks who usually agree with us, ( Signy and Rue come to mind . ) and folks who usually disagree ( Rap and Kwicko, off the top of my head) if they had MM.

Not sure any of them are old enough, heh heh.
I think we mostly got a boatload of children.

I never actually owned it but I used to enjoy going to a friend's house and play a game of Titan.
