Do they still make White Knight bars? There was also a Flinstones chocolate years ago, I think called "Freds Chew Bar" or something and of course the 3 Muskateers Bar which seemed to disappear about 25 years ago


Remember when White Knight bars were available in different flavours? Spearmint and Musk are two I remember as well as the normal peppermint.

Yogi Bear Bars anyone???

What about Amscol Wabbits???

I could never get the hang of Wonderboy, but wasn't Gauntlet simply the Best Way to Waste Your Pocket Money? 8) Superb game to play simultaneously with 3 friends. Myself, I was more into the arcades down Hindley St than the Academy.

On that note, whatever happened to all those arcades? Downtown, Kaleidoscope, Timezone, Tilt.... If I had every 20c piece I ever pushed into a coin slot in one of those arcades....

Indeed ... Bring back "Exciting Hour", "Nintendo Tennis", "1942", "Ghosts and Goblins", "Green Beret" and most importantly "Hyper Olympics" (although I must admit Gauntlet was a favourite here too).

In fact, even bringing back the local fish and chip shop with "Scramble", "Defender" or "Asteroids" would be good.

Forgive me if this has already been said :D

Slinky's .... that used to walk down steps.
Original ones were metal.... and were a nightmare to untangle if they got tangeled up, and if you did manage to untangle them they were never the same again #-o

Think this is one of the big reasons that the Beachouse isnt anywhere near as good as Magic Mountain...not enough of the "old" games.
Do find it quite amusing though watching the guys with the backwards hats holding on to the bars of those new dance games for dear life while their legs fly around like cossacks!
Trust the process.
