When you remember how we spent that afternoon after school, between the cup Toddy, French bread spread with lard and sugar, the duties and the path to play, has the feeling of having lived on another planet. This generation

season for each game so that at times dominated the ball bearing decorated with abundant studs, balls that rolled into the small hole in the ground with a blow it cleaned and passed the palm of your hand to remove any debris around as if it were a bocce court or cardboard figures with the faces of artists, soccer players and racing champions.

The only game that season was not was the ball. Any opportunity was good to build a team, forming mounds with bricks, cans or what we had on hand to make the mouth bow and prepare to play a dive in the pasture.
Everything was more environmentally friendly as we would say today including a wall, that wall piece of fine revoked preferably make an angle to the sidewalk fair play to the figures that came from five small separate paper envelopes the album to collect them. The form was stamped in circular, oval and rectangular but some recall the metal also known as "badges."
The prize for whoever managed to fill the album was almost always a bicycle or a pair of skates but to maintain a rate of sales the manufacturer failed to include certain players in the collection or he had done so much so that in the rush to get " the difficult ones ", those that allow complete the album, we were forced to buy more or get them playing.
was an almost sensual pleasure to manipulate the figures stack to count and know how was our capital, causing them to slide with the thumb of one hand to the palm of the other standing out clearly the news of the worn by the constant bustle of a player to another.
And the challenge was how to play poker, we hoped to make more figurines often risking the few that we had and with the addition of us with those difficult opponent in the end we had that long without choice but to his misfortune.
The "tapadita" was a way to play but usually had to have more figures that playing "rolled her." The first was a simple game, just had to support the figurine on the wall at one meter from the ground, release and as the floor was filled with them were more likely than a fall on another covering it partially or completely, a condition of winning the game and take all. The Fall often depended on a gentle breeze crossing the playing area with which the player took precautions to move the launch point to the right or left trying a tapadita accurate.
The other game mode was to be at a distance from the wall between the players agreed that they could be more than two as opposed to "tapadita" and each in turn launched his figurine. The leaning was getting closer to the wall was the priority pick it up and whizzed up and down, which left the image up (face), went to be owned and those that were down (dry) were collected by the next player who did the same. Time to wallow depended on the order in which the figures were approximate to the wall. But if any of the players to start the game was a "mirror", ie getting stay figurine standing on the sidewalk and leaning against the wall, was the priority of Revol.
simple, naive and exciting to spend the evening with no joystick or gamepad.
