Sometimes when your looking for a Klingon up pops a Vulcan. Spock to be precise, Mister Spock and I'm starting to see him everywhere!
Like this for instance. Mattel must have based the look of Captain Laser on the Vulcan Mister? Do you agree?
Spock also became a poster boy for the first generation of geeks. He could be said to be Geek Zero. Here he is playing space chess.
and here's his doppelganger in 1970 on the box cover of the game Ploy!

Speaking of space chess, lesser mortals than Spock only got to play Space Checkers in Star Trek on account of their limited brain function.
Which explains why I got a set one Christmas! This set was a version of Tic Tac Toe in the UK and was called Space Lines. Did you get a set readers?
