    I was watching the Vh1 show about remembering the 80's and they had Hungry Hungry Hippos on there. This got me thinking about my favorite games of all time. Sure, Hungry Hungry Hippos was a great game(untill someone titled the game, or your hippo got stuck on a marble.:mad: ), but I would have to say that little fishing game was the greatest. I played this game, which was made for 4 year-olds whenever I was 12 and 13. It was so easy to play, yet so challenging, it was just a great game.

    So, what are you favortie underrated games?

    :cool:

    You mean board games? Risk doesn't get much props.

    There's also that one where you pull the straws out and try not to let marbles fall down...?

    I used to love messing around with the electronic shark from Shark Attack, never played the actual game though...

    Any kind of games that aren't video games.

    I remember playing the marble game you are talking about.

    Remember that "dead spot" in the corner where none of the players could reach the puck?:)

    This reminds me of these little ninja dudes that you put on this thing and you would battle against another person with kicks and stuff. The one I got had made sounds, but it quickly became irritating, especially since it began making the sounds on its own. I remember trying to sleep and all of a sudden hearing "HAA!AIIIYAHH!" Freaked me out.

    That vibrating football game, not much to it, but it wasn't bad.

    Sorry rocked it.



    Shark attack was fun.

    There was this game, where you climbed up a mountain.
    You were campers, and you were trying to get to the campsite at the summit. If you chose a card with the picture of the tornado monster guy, you would release him from his cage, and he would come spinning down the thing. **** that game was awesome.

    Operation - I remember scaring the **** out of my cat when I was a kid with this thing.

    From the old commercial (I think)
    Take out his spareribs for $100...
    It takes a steady hand...
    BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
    Butter fingers :rolleyes: :D

    monopoly is definitely my favorite (though not underrated since it's so famous) but i can never get anyone to play with me b/c it takes to long and i always win.

    yahtzee rules.

    chutes and ladders was great back when i was young.
    wasn't there a ladder all the way back down the game on like the 95th space or something?

    Guess Who - never owned it - always wanted to.

    and last but not least, Trouble.
