Six Million Dollar Three Dimensional

 

On a recent mooch round Pontefract these two oldies caught my vintage eye.

Above is Three Dimensional Noughts and Crosses. How space age is that! 

Now I've got it in my head that Spock played this in Star Trek. Is that right?

My older brothers played a similar tiered game called Space Lines when I was a kid. Remember that?

Below is Steve Austin in his special chamber. Not a toy I had - I was too old by then - but one I like. The best feature on the figure is the see-through eye. Ha e you looked through one?

  1. Spock's game was 3-D chess, although Kirk often beat him with sheer human illogic.

  3. Wait, why have I never before made this connection? One volume in my favorite SF series is about you! https://64.media.tumblr.com/e26f563120de99024688c32d019cbe62/tumblr_my0elryi4D1sndzdgo1_1280.jpg
