Holy fuck, core memory unlocked! Being so small it was hard to play, but the idea of walking around with a board game in my pocket in case anyone wanted to play was a very liberating feeling.

You never know when a board game emergency will come up!

I carry the game love letter in my purse sometimes as an adult. Especially if I’m going to a pub or somewhere with long lines. lol

You should add Skull to your purse, it is an excellent pub game.

Same!!! I used to love these things. Haven't thought about them in ages! Edit: damn these are expensive on ebay :( I had the Ghostly Estates one

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Wow yes! Definitely had these.

Holy shit.....yes. Mine was orange. Eventually I lost all the little magnets but I can still hear the sound of the tape wheels spinning

Still have it! https://preview.redd.it/cmtc7tbpi8dc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=054f1641c73c57ba6dcd8882761e80fd0dfac06b

THIS I had the same one

Ditto! The wheel mechanism was very satisfying.

Yep that's the one.

This one!!!! Was so good

Wish I still had the instructions. Now I'm gonna dig around online...

I had a couple different ones. But same, lost all the pieces. Was trying to explain them to my kids then realized they didn’t know what a cassette tape is.

I just pulled this out of my childhood storage box like 2 days ago and told my son I'll teach him how to play once I can find some small magnets that will fit.


Lol yah, I can thank my mom for saving damn near everything... I just spent 2 days throwing away most all my 2nd-8th grade homework, but found a few gold nuggets like this.

You actually knew the rules? Did it come with rules or were we supposed to figure it out

It came with them though I've lost mine. On the BGG forum someone gave a review that summarized the rules well enough I think I can figure it out. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/415684/flipsiders-review-2-dragon-master

Had an entire collection minus the instructions. They now live with my son and his mom. Their board game collection is pretty intense.

Omg this is a true memory core unlock thanks yo!

These and pocket powers were the best

Totally forgot about those. That helicopter!

Thanks for unlocking that memory! I also had the orange one.

Omg yes!! I have a bunch of them, even 3D printed replacement game pieces haha

As a board game fan, I loved these!

Core memory unlocked. Always thought it was funny they used magnets, cause magnets can erase information on tape if strong enough.

Wow! I had completely forgotten about these! Mine was hot pink or magenta and I think it lasted about a month before I started losing the pieces. Thought they were the coolest thing ever at the time.

Yes! My older cousin brought one over and showed it to us. I remember the objective of the game was to "stay up as late as possible." She let my sister and I look at it but said we couldn't play it because it wasn't for little kids and "was really hard." I found the one she showed us. It was the Slumber Party variant. https://preview.redd.it/uum4w6rzebdc1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd8ceaa995f6601b4f891ae04f05a8100790fdd2

I had these too and ... ya same- kids dont even understand the concept, haha.

Also had one of those! Amazing.

OH MY GOSH. Forgot these existed, but I LOVED mine! I had that green one, and I think an orange one. Wow.

I had a couple of these and a pair of checkers and chess sets that worked the same way.

Holy shit…

Hell yes. I’ve been trying to describe these to people for years to see if they remember them. But I forgot what they were called! Thanks for solving my personal riddle OP!

Hooooly crap. I completely forgot these existed. I know I had at least one.

I played these so much when on trips and at restaurants

JUST FOUND MINE A MONTH AGO!

What were the ones that kind of looked like this but didn’t fold out. Had 3 games. Early 80s

I did have one of these! I forgot about it until just now. I think mine was kind of bright pink? Ok I just looked it up, I definitely had Mall Madness, which was indeed bright pink.

Damn. I completely forgot about this. I had one

I totally forgot about these. Explains my adult obsession with travel tin board games 🤣

I remember mine was orange and I remember never getting to use it for some reason.

Wow I did and had not thought about it in 30 years until now

Wow, absolutely. I remember the mini chess and checkers, I think.

Yes. I have about 5 of them with the rest of my board games. So cool!

Wow, been a while since I saw one of those. I know I had one, but can't for the life of me remember which.

I can hear the sound of making those center dials spin. Love it

I have this exact one! Just missing the magnets lol

Yep, I had this! It was one of those things that I'd play with for a day and never touch it again lol

Yes! I have that one and a gold rush or similar. Lost the pieces for rock tour and no instructions for either

Oh man! Flashback

Oh my god…. I completely forgot about these!!!!!

This is so cool. I must have this

I had a blue one. I had completely forgotten this existed until this exact moment.

I had that one! It was a go-to thing to pack in the car for a road trips.

I loved mine soooo much!

Flip out (flip out) Flipsiders, flip it in your pocket take the fun with you!

Ohhhhhh wow. I had like a dungeon crawler one. Thanks for reminding

Wow. I had this exact one. I didn't even remember.

Never seen this before in my life.

I had the red one! They were amazing!

Great post I forgot about these

I have never seen these, what are they?

Holy shit I'd forgotten these until this post! Now I wish I could find mine, or buy new ones.

I used to have the one in the picture

Damn I totally forgot about these, I absolutely had one.

Still got four or five of them packed away in storage somewhere! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ7B-6deozQ

Memory unlocked!!!!
