SECTION I SUPPLEMENT Tp McHENRY PLAIN DEALER - PAGE £ - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1*77 "Gift Wrap" TV Favorites To Amuse Youngsters Have you noticed how the toy with all the jazzy gadgets and gimmicks is often the first Christmas present to : be ignored? Though such a gift may have provided a few hours' entertainment on Christ­ mas morning, its initial ap­ peal will probably have been played out by the afternoon! When buying a Christ­ mas gift for younger friends and family members, take its long-term enjoyment in­ to consideration. One ex­ cellent and inexpensive gift choice is a game. Very of­ ten the more it's played, the more fun it becomes, which means that it will be just as popular in six months' time as it is on Christmas day! A game can also be a wonderful ice-breaker for youngsters -- perhaps for cousins who haven't seen each other since last Christ­ mas. You'll be surprised how quickly they become friends again once they begin playing a game to-' gether. To keep a child's imagi­ nation keen, Parker Broth­ ers, who have been publish­ ing quality games for more than 90 Christmases, have come up with a series of really entertaining, themed games that are expected to prove popular this "year -- particularly with television fans. For any girl who has dreamed of being a real Bionic Woman, there's a brand new game just for her. Called The Bionic Woman, the aim is to help the almost invincible hero­ ine Jaime Sommers carry out her dangerous adven­ tures while completing other exciting Top Secret assignments -- sometimes with special assistance from another TV favorite, Six Million Dollar Man, Colo­ nel Steve Austin. Suitable for children from 7 to 14 years of age, boys will en­ joy this thrilling game every bit as much as their sisters! Steve Austin is also the star of his very own game, Bionic Crisis, also new this year. Suitable for 8 to 13 year olds, this game's players become technicians responsible for completing a circuit on a part of Steve s body which gives him his necessary bionic powers. The catch is that your op­ ponent holds the key to your circuit and it's up to you to duplicate his data! With bionics all the rage, there's a third game to con­ tinue the fun. Called The Six Million Dollar Man Came, it was first intro­ duced last year and was in fact the best-selling chil­ dren's board game in 1975. Suitable for 6 la 12 year olds, it too captures the suspense and adventure of the popular television series. By now, almost every boy or girl who has come with­ in a mile of a television set in the past year has learned to imitate The Fonz. Now, this cool Fifties character who has become the hot hero of the Seventies comes to life again in a new game called Happy Days. De­ signed for 7 to 13 year olds, players win and lose their cool in activities like going to Arnold's Drive-In, going out on a date, drag racing, or just hanging out! The winner is the first player to earn sixteen cool points on the jukebox. Any one of Parker's quality-play themed games might be just what Santa Claus is looking for to round off a youngster's Christmas gift list. With each of these games usually costing under five dollars, they make an excellent en­ tertainment investment, providing hours of happy playing. Not only do games mean fun at Christmas time, more importantly, they're fun on those inevi­ table rainy days, sick stay- at-home days, and simple "let's-play-a-game" days that make up the rest of the year. Santa's Hints: Sports shops offer a wide variety of items to give the players of ball games or fans of winter sports.
