Oh yeah, had 'em all. Except Jarts. I wanted them, but my parents were smarter than that. Someone definitely would have lost an eye.

Oh, and we had Nerf balls, but just generic ones. I think it was a while before they started shaping them to look like basketballs, soccer balls, etc.

Not lethal, but the other classics are Hula Hoops and Slinkys. We would Hula Hoop like crazy as kids. I tried one when I was an adult, and it seemed impossible! Slinkys, no fun at all unless you had a hardwood staircase for it to walk down, which we fortunately did. Otherwise, you slink if from hand to hand for three minutes and you're done. Nowadays they are plastic instead of steel, feggedaboutit!
