Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

Another revived (again) thread by yours truely.

Ok, so I was looking through a catalog circa 1992(?) and I saw something in there that everyone I knew who owend a car had, but never used.
I actually remember them more prevelent in the 80's but whatever...

It's called the auto blaster, and it would make a noise or something, when you pushed one of the many buttons on it.

Sounds would include, an incoming missle and it exploding, a ray gun sound, a grenade explosion, machine gun and a random emergency wail..
(No matter what brand blaster you would buy, the sounds were the same.)
I guess those were the only sounds available on a cheap transducer (sound chip) back in the day.

Anyone else remember those or still have one?

Also, does anyone remember the keychains that when you whistle would make a noise. My cousins and I used to play with my uncle's keys for hours on eend, hiding them on each other and whistling to find them. Turns out the batteries were pretty good and it lasted a whole week that way.
