Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.


Any 80's kids out there, I was. Can any of you guys remember this or have one.




The Big Trak. It actually came out in1979, but it wasn't till the 81 that it started to sell. My dad brought me one for Christmas, but he spent more time playing with it than me. And I still have it packed away at my mums.

Never saw that before, must've been fairly expensive...lol;^]
 
I remember having to codes in for distance and direction.
 
I remember it well. I also have one still at my moms house. It was fun for about 2 or 3 days, but it was kind of boring having to program it all the time.
 
EXACTLY!
 
OMG. I had one of those and so did a friend of mine that lived down the street. He would bring his to my apartment building and we would go into different parts of the lobby and program them to "find" each other and fire those phasers. Man what a blast from the past!
 
Naahhh... I was too busy playig with my Intelevision (Triple Action, Space Armada, Pitfall, Baseball, Box, etc)... (1979-1984), and then My atari 2600... oohhh What a felling!!!

Now you're talking my language, for it's time the atari 2600 was great, except trying to get past the giant hole in the Indiana Jones game...lol. I remember playing E.T. on the atari system, you could beat the game in like half an hour;^]

Same here, I had a mate who lived a few doors up from me who had one and we did the same thing. Loved it.

I had the Big Trak, I wore that thing out. I believe mine is packed away at my grandmothers.
It was kind of a drag having to program it all the time. But it was lots of fun scaring the piss out of my dog with it.
Those things bring a pretty penny from collectors.

Good job Jimmy B, blast from the past fo sho.
 
I had one also.... loved it I don't have it anymore.... My Dog hated it and ran every time i got it out to play with it.. LOL!!!
I saw one at the Flea Market a year ago it was not for sale just showing things from the 80's if I remember it had a Dump truck on the back also

Flash Back 80's
 
I had one of those, once i saw the pitcure i could here the "lazer" sound when it shoots!
 
piggin hell all you guys were spoilt when you were kids, the nearest thing we had to technology stuff was a stick and an old buckled penny farthing wheel (the little one) the hours of fun that could be had running down dale and up hill were endless and most families were that poor they couldn't afford shoes for their kids, mine was that poor they couldn't even afford feet for me!!! i was nearly ten before i got my first set, but i still have some great memories of being a kid....



 
There is a BigTrak page here: www.thebigtrak.com, for you youngins wondering what the fuss is about. For us, this was the closest thing to having a robot as we could get for the price. (Which by the way was around $50 back then, around $140 today) Other things from that era that I loved:

Original Pong machine (Hooked up to my 12" B&W TV)
Atari 2600
Lots of Star Wars stuff (Trading cards, action figures, and almost all the ships.)

Okay, yeah, I was spoiled now that I look back on it. lol.
