Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on January 31, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsJanuary 31, 2001

Let’s see…you took off from some region of France (Alsace is one that I remember) and then tried to escort your convoy acroos to the enemy. You could hit a key and release a group of soldiers, tank, or truck on their way. There were missiles which homed in on you and followed you around. Any help? I cant remember the name. It is not chopper command or choplifter, though they are similar. The key is the fact that you started in the regions in France, it might have been regions in the world, but I definitely remember Alsace, France. Thanks for the help. I’d like to know where i could get a copy. -Ben

I grew up in the Bronx near P.S. 76 and Evander H.S. we’d play just about everything: we had certain seasons when the Pea shooters would come out. Soda straws and chick peas, I think, and we would be shooting each other for hours. It’s a bit dangerous, but that was the fun. Not as dangerous and shooting paper clips and we did that to, with rubber bands. We’d normally play both of those shooting war games hiding behind cars. Not to many rules, just teams played until one side surrendered. We also played marbles, but we used elaborately designed shoe boxes with ramps and holes that contestants would have to roll their marble through or lose it. If they got their marble up the ramp and into the shoe or cigar box they won any number of marbles. This was Las Vegas before we knew it.

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on January 28, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

After getting together after 25 yrs., the 3 of us girls grew up in Canarsie, Brooklyn. We searched for jacks, and began playing one day. Trying desperately to remember the different rules, esp. “Fancies.” We even put our hair in pigtails to try to recapture the “olden days.” We remembered:5 fancies. Squeeze the lemon, the bride and groom, around the world, jack be nimble, and lick the lollie. When we were kids we would play mostly on hard surfaced floors where ever and whenever we could. WE WERE OBSESSED! Does anyone know of books or sites to find more fancies? We are planning on playing more often now.

In the late 50s and early 60s: Imatra Hall on 40th street,where we could dance to Nils’ accordion and get the BEST hamburger from the older ladies in the kitchen! I’ll never forget being in a PACKED Loew’s Boro Park theatre to see PSYCHO! – Not a person left their seat for food or went to the rest rooms – nobody coughed or said a word during the entire movie-never forget the experience!

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on January 25, 2001 by Streetplay DiscussionsJanuary 25, 2001

I filled many many days playing Scully in Village on the Green in Haverstraw, New York in the early 70s. We had a board painted on a basketball court in the park. It was great to have hours of uninterrupted play and you could really send the other players way out of town when you wanted to. Thanks for a great site…I needed the information to refresh my memory on the rules to teach my own kids.
