Walkie-talkie Hide and Seek

1990, Age 8

In this game, one of us would hide somewhere deep in the neighborhood, and give clues to our whereabouts via walkie talkie. Ah, what game can not be improved by the incorporation of this technology? (Don't answer that). It certainly allowed us to stretch our range from "the backyard" to "the entire neighborhood," and there was always a sense of excitement and anticipation as you closed in on the hider, for they would announce that they could see you, or start speaking very quietly because you were close enough to hear them. It was partially terrifying, for being so very close, and knowing that they could see you...knew exactly where you were...but their location was still a mystery.
