This thing was awesome - had a little button you could keep pressing to make the blades rotate, so you weren't having to spin them with your hand, looking like an asshole.

One of my most remembered toys. (That photo is not mine. Just an example). Big upgrade from my Big Wheel. Megos were fun too.

Damn... my aunt wore wigs and used to give us them to play with, but I never put 2+2 together... every time I remember playing jarts, we were just playing a straight game aiming at the rings. The plastic fins didn't last real long.

If you want to talk toy activities then Wham-O trackball was my favorite. It came with these really lightweight balls, so we used tennis balls instead. Playing in the street we could be like 50 yards apart throwing them super far. They'd bounce so there was a lot of opportunity to catch them if you missed it in midair.
Damn I want to do this again.
