    I do remember pinball machines but I used to play with them in one of the amusement centers here in Makati. I also remember going to Greenhills to play with slot cars at Virra Mall. That was in the late 70's early 80's if memory serves me right.BTW what is Night Rider? The only Night Rider that rings a bell is the tv series starring David Hasselhoff.

     

    It's Night Driver pala. Sorry, my mistake.

    It seems nobody remembers Night Rider. How about the pinball machines in Greenhills?

     

    Back then, if you don't want to experience the partylines then you should go to those red payphones where you put two 10centavo coins.

     

    Those days, if a girl gave you her phone number or if she asked for your phone number, then that would be the start of something beautiful. :wub:

     

    I was born in the 60s and those Magnolia carts competed with the mamang sorbetero colorful carts. Instead of the "dry ice," the local "dirty Ice Cream" carts used shaved ice mixed with salt. In the early 70s, Twin popsies was 30c, Pinipig crunch was 40c, ice cream sandwich was at 50c and drumstick was 60c. Coke, Pepsi, Royal, Lem-O-Lime Mirinda and 7-up cost 25c in our suking tindahan while cosmos sunta and sarsi and RC cola were 20c.

    I learned how to dance through SOUL TRAIN.

     

    I used to dance before in the 70s. Mike Monserrat and Sandy Hontiveros placed 2nd in Playboy Disco Derby held at Silahis International Hotel in 1979. The son or daughter (?) of Elizabeth Ramsey and partner went on to win the championship.

     

    Before Playboy, there was the Circuit dance competition held every Tuesday in Hyatt Regency where Princess Misa and Eric Edralin won first place. But the real dance showdown place was WHERE ELSE! No prize money, only bragging rights.

    Pretty certain it wasn't Uncle Bob. Did Ariel Ureta have a show?

     

    Anyway, I'm not sure about the iPad vs. taguan/patintero contest. Kids today might be more sophisticated but I sure loved playing outside - getting cut up sneaking into neighbors' gardens, falling off our bikes outracing askals, fighting off the neighborhood bullies who hung out at the sari-sari store - we had to entertain ourselves and we were never, ever bored. Our taguan was pretty exciting as hiding places stretched the whole street and we played well into the night until we had to be coaxed home with stories of kapre and tikbalang. A fave game at school was agawan base, with absolutely no favor shown to girls. I watch my young nephews today engrossed in their gadgets, but give them a top and their eyes come alive.

     

     

     

    what a far cry from today's technology huh. just to dial someone's number took forever, especially if your fingers were tiny and slipped out of that rotary thingy easily.

     

     

     

    Might be Tito Pepe?. He hosted Clubhouse 9.

     

    We also played agawan base in school in the early 70s, plus shato, jolens, overhead sipa, luksong tinik, luksong baka (viola kamatis), piko, bending, tanshing, touch ball and tumbang preso.

    Wow, the thread I started is active again. Thanks guys for keeping this alive.

    Thanks Bods for telling me about this. Makes me reminisce once more about the 70s.

     

    I knew both Loren Legarda and Thelma Dumpit even before they became news anchor. :P
