Playing Millionaire with my older brothers when I was 3 years old. Earliest gaming memory.
I couldn't count so I didn't realise I had well over a million pounds and had won the game.

you seriously never heard of the typewriter before?
chest would be used as the keyboard and then a nice ping and slap on the face to boot...................fun for the person giving it out............not so much the person recieving!!!
Lovely brother you had.
We didn't do the typewriter in my family.
There was the noisebox though - which is a variation on the typewriter.
Press the nose for a car horn sound. Twist the ear for another sound...
I suppose my dad was a wise man. He used to buy us lots of boardgames to distract us from games like the noisebox or typewriter. The games would keep us quiet for hours on end before an argument would erupt over the rules, or my 2nd oldest brother cheating. Or the game would end and we'd argue over who would pack it up.

'Chap door runaway',so that is the Scotish version of that old time favourite,that good,clean,wholesome,child's passtime from a more innocent age.
There was a couple of girls who played 'knock and run' with us,and their girlish squeals of excitement gave our hiding places away,whenever someone decided to come after us. But that just added to the excitement of it all.
We knew that if any of us got caught,we could expect a thick ear,or some other form of mild chastisement.
We expected nothing less,but that would be the end of the matter,and we would'nt pick on them again.
Instead,we would select some new,unsuspecting victims,who were complacently looking forward to settling down in front of the telly,after a long,hard,tiring day at work.
