You sure they don't exist anymore or are you just too old to play them?

Sierra games in general. They were awesome back in the day. Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest, Kings Quest, Space Quest. Geez, didn't know there was a reloaded version until just looking it up now. Will add to the download list.

 

[MarcusP2]

Speaking of which...Sierra in general. And LucasArts.

Well British Bulldog and Brandy were banned when I was in about grade 3 or grade 4 due to their rough like nature.

Probably more to do with litigation on the rise and schools not taking the risk. Which I guess does mean the same thing - people being overly sensitive.

Ollie's Family Restaurants (we used to call them Ollie's Trollies) and 'Fluffy Duck's'!

$2 worth of hot chips and a 50c tub of gravy from the local take-away shop used to feed about eight hungry teenagers.

Caramilk chocolate. Was like a caramel-flavoured white chocolate. Ditto Pinky Bars, although they were strawberry.

i used the services of lube mobile about 3 years ago. was pretty good. was out of the nrma free towing zone by about 50km on a sunday lunchtime so no mechanic's around.

also saw a van a couple of days ago.

pretty sure the ad's are long gone.

I loved britsh bulldog. best game. all the boys used to look forward to it at the end of footy training. think it stopped in u/12's though

also in primary around grade 5 (2003) they banned tackling in lunchtime footy and implemented the "tap" rule where they have 5 seconds to dispose of the ball.

That place was great as a kid, it was the ultimate place for a birthday party.

In hindsight it was pretty shit though so no real surprise it bit the dust.

It was popular enough, I think it was just too expensive to run the joint. Animatronic dingoes that sing and play piano I imagine weren't cheap in 1979

It was still going strong in the early to mid 80s but like Pizza Hut restaurants it just went out of fashion all of a sudden and went bust.

Atlantis Marine Park went gangbusters too in Perth in the 80s, nek minnut ghost town. Wet'n Wild in Freo also gawn along with Dizzy Lamb Park.

Adventure World is about the only survivor of the 80s Perth theme parks.

OAK cottage cheese, used to love that stuff as a kid.

Manhunt was more fun. One person was chosen as the "hunted", given a head start, then chased around the school until found and bashed (in a fun lighthearted way). I am unaware if it still exists.
