'Flight Deck' - Anyone remember this? What a game this was... having to land your 'Phantom' on the cardboard flight deck. Easier said than done!

Always looked like one of those games that were expertly advertised, but in reality weren't as good as they looked.

Saying that though, I always wanted one, but never got one :cry:

One of the weirdest games I had was called 'George v Mildred', obviously named after the TV sitcom 'George and Mildred'... which had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual game itself. It consisted of a grid like board with large dice, which you had to land on your opponent's dice by moving yours onto their grid via moving the number of squares on your dice's upper face. Shit, that sounds complicated doesn't it! How the fuck did I ever understand that as a nine year old?

When I first saw the title of this post, the first two toys I thought of were Striker and Flight Deck!! But favourite was Scalextric
And what about Super Striker with diving goalkeepers
