lol fantastic stuff again Steel thanks - that's the very game I remember the box (it's always the box I seem to remember most) and parts of the the board ring a big bell in my memory and of course I mostly remember the cowboys/Indians and horses. I seemed to think there was rail track and a train in this game, but that's probably another game or my memory playing up (the latter I guess). I think "..Little Big Horn" was a strategy type game , I was only about 5 or 6 at the time and this seemd a game for older kids to me (my older brothers pal had this game) - pretty sure it wasn't as complex as Campaign (that was difficult). Despite all these types of games I remember mostly playing with those smaller boxed games like
Coppit,
Mousie Mousie and my favourite
Flying Hats (I think these are still all available in some form) seem to remember the boxes to these (Spears games?) being brightly coloured and stylish (retro now I suppose). I also have memory of
Magic Robot ( a toy robot board game the robot pointed to the cards / answers) and wanting this (didn't get it
) but a friend did and it bored me playing withit after a few hours. There was also a pretty strange Matchbox toy (not a game) a friend had that was looked great on TV called
Cascade that basically involved droping ball bearing type err balls onto drum like objects (sonds strange but it was kinda cool for a while). A personal favourite toy of mine was the
Matchbox Motorway (loved it as I collected Matchbox cars as a kid) and (another toy I have never seen since ) called
Trick Track - saying that I spent more time with my annuals, comics , drawing pad and plasticine.Oh I'm all nostalgia'd out now
