The two games I remember most are Scrabble and Monopoly. I still play Scrabble occasionally. It's a fun game! The Etch-a-Sketch was a popular toy for a long time.

Yeap i remember those board games along with ''Risk'' and ''The Game of Life'' as we as a family on a saturday nite sometimes would play them for hours as our mom would usually make ice cream sundaes for our neighborhood friends, my sisters and i back then in the 70's.

Forgot about those cap guns, the better ones had individual mini precussion caps that you loaded one at a time, made more noise. And of course the other type with a thin paper roll with gunpowder dots spaced a half inch apart. You inserted the roll and could fire at will, they jammed up and sometimes the dot would get out of alignment with the firing pin and waste some of your ammo. Was always more fun to have a candy cigarette in your mouth while firing your semi automatic cap gun.
