Popular board games from your childhood

Toss Across is all I can think of at the moment. More than likely because my sister and I use to have bean bag fights.

We played a lot of Sorry!, Parcheesi (sp?), Battleship, Monopoly, Trouble, Trivial Pursuit, and yes, Mego's very own Obsession (from what I remember it was a really fun game. Several years back I was going to raid my parents' game cabinet to take that one and add it to my Mego collection, but apparently they sold it at a yard sale or something. D'oh!!)

When I was a kid, I never had too many board games of my own. The family had a few: Monopoly, Bingo, Jeopardy, Scrabble, chess and checkers. But during the time my family used these games, I was too young to play them. I longed for some of my own. I had:

Candy Land
Booby Trap
Stay Alive
Perfection
Twister
Superstition
Operation
Magic Magic Magic!
(the last one came from my brother, and wasn't a whole lotta fun, except for the tricks it came with).

OK, maybe I did have quite a few.

Some of the more popular games that I constantly saw advertised, (but never owned as a child), were:

Battleship (plain and electronic)
Connect Four
PayDay
Life
Yahtzee
Hangman
