I never understood pogs. All I knew was it was Hawaiian and you could slam. I had some mega man pogs. I don't think.anyone in Ohio actually knew how to play that game.

I grew up (and still live) in Ohio and I would concur. A lot of people I knew growing up had pogs, and some of us had a vague idea of the rules of the game, but mostly kids just collected them.

Same here. But that's purely a result of the fact that I was 8-18 during that time period.

So the way pogs were supposed to be played (no one played it this way however) was you are supposed to stack a bunch of them on top of each other with the art side facing down. Then the person your playing with is supposed to use a pog slammer (usually metal or wood) and strike down at the top of the pog tower. When the dust settles and all the pogs are displaced everywhere, the person who slammed them gets to keep all the pogs that flipped over to reveal the art side. But no one wanted to give their pogs away, so no one ever played it that way

They were pretty stupid. I remember a few years back at a toy store (KB toys, now out of business) had a sign in their front window stating "POGS!!!! There back"

Well, sorry the 80's didn't go well for you... but that's you. I was born in 1981 and the 80's were a great time for my family, my dad was making $16-$20 an hour (sometimes more) hanging drywall and my mom stayed at home with me the first 4 years of my life, then after that got herself a job too. They spoiled me with stuff like Legos, Transformers, and Ninja Turtle toys, and I finally convinced them to get me an NES for Christmas 1987.
So, the 80's was a great decade to me. Sounds like it was for Wes too. Sounds like you were living in your own bubble, no?

I used to have the power ranger ones along with a launcher that sadly broke. I remember them advertising Street Fighter themed ones but could never find those.
Goddamned neo-cons.

They really need to bring hypercolor back. I would rock it. I think you had to wash those in cold water only.
And pogs did suck. Would the bottom pog ever be flipped over? And why smash with something that's gonna destroy the pog?
