It is fun to look back in time to 1974 to see the toys we played with and things we thought were so cool and the latest technology or the "In Thing" when we were children, looking at the toys from 1974 is a great way to transport you back in time. Some are timeless just changed style, added new models or created super new accessories (BB Guns and Dolls Houses For Example), but others will just survive 1 or two years (Mrs Beasley Talking Doll, Hasbro Inchworm) and yet others are standards for a couple of decades (Go Cart Building Racer Kit, Lionel Train Sets) and some though simple are still popular today (Winnie The Pooh of Every Kind, Nurses an Doctors Kits, Tonka Toys) 30 years later. Games are the same with some still popular and available today like (Game Of Twister) but others only when you see them do you remember playing with them in your childhood (Game of Happyness). Portable Calculators and Computer Games Consoles (Odyssey) were a new innovation and the early models were a window on what we would see refined over the next few years.
