You guys helped me remember what one of my fondest “toys” was called, growing up as a kid of the 80’s - the [Radio Shack ‘electronic kits’](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=674060). Along the same lines, this game hadn’t crossed my mind in 20 years, or I would have been wracking my brain, trying to remember what the name of it was (and likely would have started a thread here, similar to the one above). I saw it referenced on a friend’s Facebook status earlier tonight, and it brought back some fun memories, of playing this as a kid with my family. Does anyone remember playing [Whosit?](http://magisterrex.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/the-best-classic-board-games-whosit-1976/), a Parker Brothers board game, where you would try and guess the other person’s identity through yes/no questions? Do you smoke? Are you in a gold room? Do you have a hat? Are you an adult? Are you the Geisha Girl? Are you the Genius? Are you the Spy? etc., etc. Then you would pass the little blue doo-hickey around, and each player would put yellow chips into either the yes/no slot, and then pass it back to you? OK, just me? nevermind then. 😛
