I loved Bed Bugs, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Operation and Frustration - all of which made a lot of noise and used to drive my mum and dad crazy

Buckaroo was fun but the pieces always went missing.
Although it's much more fun when there is 6 adults playing. Playing with 2 or 3 or with children isn't the same.
Monopoly is great.
I bought the Simpsons Monopoly a couple of xmas's ago and it's hardly been out of the box. The orginal is far better as you know the streets etc.
Scrabble is good fun too. I'm far better now since i learnt lots of tricks by playing online.
They weren't board games as such.
One was a helicopter type game where you had to drop parachutists in to holes on a spinning board?
The other one was a Harrier Jump jet game with the plane on a string and you had to land it using a yoke connected to the string?
Oh and 'Escalado' Horse-Racing, which wasn't technically a 'board game' (no board)
I have
Monopoly (UK - classic)
Monopoly (US - Classic)
Simspons monopoly
Simpsons - treehouse of horror monopoly
monpoly revolution
monopoly city
spongebob monopoly
make-your-own-monopoly

Frustration
I was school champion at Connect 4 too. :D
I so wanted that game!
Cluedo
Chess
Draughts
Loved playing cards. We'd sit 'round the table as a family and play cards for hours. Very good for sharpening your brain. I did the same with my kids.
Wow that is an impressive collection. I need to get a new copy of the classic one though as mines falling apart.
I have simpsons cluedo which is good fun.
My kids love board games which is a really good thing.
Was that busy busy bumblee bees?
Mousie mousie was good.
Thats the one! Couldn't remember the name!
Sod that just seen it mentioned above.
Still worthy of a mention again though.
(BTW, hosting a Murder Mystery game on New Year's Eve!)
Was gonna say I mentioned it!
Loved Cluedo and Scrabble and a game called Balderdash which was the same principle as TV's Call My Bluff.
As I got older all these were surpassed by Trivial Pursuit, still love playing that.
