Sandbox Games?

[Ace Jackson]

I never really played in sandboxes very often when I was a kid, but there was one time in particular when me and a couple of other unruly kids at the day care I used to stay at sat in the sand on the playground outside while an adult sprayed around us with a garden hose, so we gradually sank down into the sand after a while. And then I went back inside and watched Goosebumps with the 9 year olds (I was 5 at the time, so it was a kind of a big deal. No nap-time for me, mo' fo'!). Actually, now that I think about it, they may have been trying to bury me alive so that I wouldn't make poop jokes with the playdough anymore.

I built mock cities and villages.

 

[Monocle Man]

I built castles and fortress and things like that. All the time. For my transformers and lego stuff and all kinds of things. Somebody needs a game that is just a sandbox.

It could be called, "Ant in the sandbox: the real sandbox saga" and the primary objective would be to not die in a makeshift sand tomb.

I was thinking about making it about action figures and letting you both run around premade sandboxes as well make your own or use other peoples. Youd' get to run around and punch monsters or shoot 'em up.

GTA meets LittleBigPlanet?

I built some sort of fortresses, mostly. Actually, they were more like pyramids. I also tried to dig tunnels under them.

Ahh, I perfected the skill of sand tunnels.

My poor gerbil. I made him my test dummy. I'd put a little biscuit in the middle of the tunnel and watch him scurry through. Sweet.

More like Saint's Row 2 meets LBP. But without boring platformer shit.

I built castles then threw rocks at them.

I never found sandboxes that fun. It's just dry crushed up rocks. I would step into a sandbox and then say "now what?"

My mother always told me that only boring people allowed themselves to be bored.

or 'intelligent people are never bored'
Thanks for the confidence boost, mother dearest.

I buried my power ranger stuff so only the hand was sticking out and had little soldiers aiming at the hand

Me and my friend played with ants Digging holes, see which one got up first. Stuff like that

I used to stay away from them, I hated the smell of sand.

 

[Lord George]

I use to make little sandpeople (just add some water to make it hard and mushy), then I would attack them with my biker mice army who would subject them to daily torture and executions to maintain order with me as the dictator of my sand empire. I was a very happy child.

 

[Hoppetussa]

I buried milk cartons in them, and then buried them up again several weeks later and replaced them with the other milk cartons at school.

It does fucking STINK when you pick up a smell a handfull of wet sand in the ocean....

The dry,dusty smell is what got me.

I like to build sand castles and then put army men around it and pretend a battle is going on.

Some of the most fun I had as a kid involved stuff Mom found at the dollar store. Bags of green and grey army men plus plastic forms to build sand bricks (and a grandfather who liked to tell stories from World War II) meant that friends and I would re-enact the war battles our grandparents told us about. Probably wasn't historically accurate, but it was fun.
