Found my old Bop It in a box at my mom's house last month

I was helping her clean out the attic and pulled this purple plastic thing from a bin. I put in batteries, not expecting much. The voice sounded tinny but familiar. I started playing, and my hands just knew what to do, like muscle memory from 20 years ago. I got to level 15 before I messed up, which is way better than I ever did as a kid. It was still fun, but in a different way, more about the memory than the game itself. Has anyone else dug up an old toy and been surprised at how it felt?

Oh man, that's so cool. I used to think all that old stuff was just junk, but last year I found my old Game Boy Color. The feel of those buttons, and that specific click sound, it just flooded back a ton of memories I forgot I even had. It's weird how your hands remember things your brain doesn't.

What game did you find yourself playing first when you turned it on?
