Manhunt ruled. We had a big forest in the back of our neighborhood and built massive above and underground forts with the construction wood we stole from the builders for the houses in our new neighborhood. We would play capture the flag as well so you couldn't just hide in a tree or leave like they did in Sean's neighborhood, you had to get that flag. That was hands down my favorite game.
We also played knuckles in school, but in order to get 'knucked' you had to be too slow at the game where you lay your palms on another persons palms and try to slap their hand before they pulled it away. If they flinched and you didn't try to slap their hand you got a free slap. Flinch 3 times and you got 'knucked'.
We also played baseball, basketball, tag football in the street, and real football in the retention area which were 2 big fields in the front and back of the neighborhood. The funny part is we had kids from 11 to 20 playing together. I would be out there as a little 13 year old runt gettting beat to shit playing tackle football but it made you tough and you learned real quick how to move fast and take a hit. One time playing hardball I was pitching and the ball left the bat and nailed me right in the back before I could react.
I swear we had unlimited energy back then, you woke up in the morning and could play manhunt, football, baseball and basketball all in one day. Wish I could still play all day like that.
