happy halloween!!
for halloween a classic vintage game from transogram ~
green ghost, the original glow in the dark classic from 1965 ~
toxic never had this game or played it in her day, but my hubby did as a kid.. once while he & his brother were playing green ghost with the lights off their dad snuck up outside the window nearby & scared them to pieces!! ~
the glowing board has red spaces to move along on this version (there were several different versions of this game with different color schemes, but this is my favorite one..) ~
it has a haunted house, tree & shipwreck, & also 3 pits that are only opened with the right key ~
you get to choose to be one of 4 different pets, a cat, a bat, a vulture or a mouse ~
& you are trying to find the green ghost's lost child, kelly, but he looks just like all the other little ghost children.. (these small vintage game pieces would never fly today as the ghost children are veritable throat plugs..) ~
the ghost children are hiding in the pits along with scary snakes, bones & bat feathers (?!) ~
the snakes are just pieces of old rubber bands ~
gameplay is surprisingly complex, but once all the ghost children are found the green ghost will spin to reveal which one is kelly ~
whoever found kelly wins, so basically the entire confusing game is superfluous & it all is decided at the end with one spin.. lol ~
the box is half the fun ~
with its cool glowy graphics ~
it really does glow in the dark quite well even after almost 50 years ~
$5.99 at bargain city! expect to pay much more for one of these nowadays ~
the transogram company also made the cool glowing vintage kabala game ~
this halloween my son & hubby & i decided to try to play ~
the resulting youtubes are kinda hilarious ~
the rules ~
have a safe & excellent halloween & remember to keep all the good candy for yourself!!
ghost & toxic

i'm sharing this old post as a flashback friday favorite as i am again transitioning to a new laptop!
late post today.. i'm wondering how others deal with laptop death? i have a veritable mausoleum in my closet.. this morning i began experiencing what i've come to know as the first signs of laptop death with my trusty toshiba. :( had to wait for help from my IT oriented son to bring it 'round to functioning enough for me to post.. i don't deal with laptop death well. as a reclusive person i probably make connections to things more than the sparse people in my world.. laptops, old toys, kid's books.. go figure ~
i'm not a phone person, actually i may be the only human left who does not have a phone? but i do love my laptops like old friends & they tend to accumulate stickers due to toxic & her forever sticker addiction, adding to the loss when i finally must let one go.. this older one i had to keep kicking back into shape as the screen barely would stay upright near the end, it would start slipping forward or back sadly as i typed out my posts.. (cry) ~
& this one literally Caught Fire, not once but 3 times on its power cord before i could let it go.. i'm never ready for it. i may be at that point again. i guess there is the upside of looking for new stickers?? but my money tree is out of season right now.. will update ~
