i remember playing DEAD MAN WITH BALL. one person had a the ball and had to dodge everyone trying to tackle him. if you hit him hard enough for him to fumble the ball then you were next. that shit was brutal lol.

there was also a game called KICK THE CAN. where one guy was "it" and he had to find people hiding al ove rhte neighborhood and had to put his foot over the can and say he was caught and then count to 3. then you were in "jail" and if someone came and kicked the can everyone was free lol. that was the shit.

those were the unique ones i did that no 90s babies even knew about.

Arcades
Tackle football on cement
Basketball with no net (sucked)
playing hide and seek as an excuse to get with a chick.
building forts in the woods
only drinking and smoking weed, didnt even smoke cigaretts (other drugs were for fags)
fucking GI JOES were like the size of barbie dolls and shit.

shit man i have to say i'm happy i grew up in the 80s
