Pokemon/Yugioh trading card game...but mainly Pokemon
Yo-Yos
Tag/Freeze Tag
Hide and Seek/Sardines
MASH
Board games (Clue, Battleship, Guess Who?, Connect 4, Sorry, etc.)
LEGOs

We were a lot more creative back then...now we just play FIFA all day, soon to be replaced with SC2.

 

"Basketball" with quarters

I had bugged my parents for Spinjas for a long time, then when I finally got a set the fad had died out in my school.

 

Chess
Checkers
Connect Four
Stratego
Careers
Risk (when I could convince my sister to play)

Various card games. My dad's side of the family were big card players, and most summers they would invent some new rummy derivative. We played one called Liberpool a lot in our house. My dad and I used to play Setback, which is a form of Euker. Another family favorite was Oh Hell.

Scrabble and Boggle were competitive sports in our household. My dad, my sister, and I are all wordsmiths, and the competition in those 2 games were pretty damn fierce.

It's a bit of a stretch, but I kind of considered choose your own adventure books as games. No different than a lot of text-based computer games of the time. I was a geek and use to map out the possibility trees so I'd be sure to read every ending.
