It was a tough fight between lego and Sonic, but in the end I think lego wins.
Little building blocks to make whole worlds with, where spacemen could fight pirates and the knights of old rode trains through the city district. Where gaudy towers of blues and greens and reds and yellows stood tall amongst the lesser creations, where a house could become a boat, and the next minute a plane. Where landscapes changed from lush forests to barren deserts within an instant, and all who lived within these worlds had a purpose. And you were in it too, there was always that one lego person, probably kitted out in a ninja garb with three capes on, wielding a silver sword in one hand, and a massive laser gun that screwed up their balance in the other. No matter what the problem you built, your little lego person was ready to tackle it.
This love has stuck with me for 20 years, now the lego is being used to represent my DnD group, so I can build the dungeon rather than just use a grid and tiles. If there is a big dragon in the room, I will build a big dragon and put him in that room!
...If it wasn't so late I'd break out a tub and start building.

I'll see your Orange Blob, and raise with this one : http://youtu.be/FfTH5eXAkTgChildofGallifrey said:
Now, those were some classic times. Ghod, I'm Old.
Actually, in my case, I was more influenced by the BBC, via my public television station : http://youtu.be/WdVivT0ShC4 ... Learned very quickly why British kids liked to watch this from behind the sofa.
Okay. Symbol of my childhood is Frankenstein's Monster & Dracula. Now go with me on this. When I was a young kid, my mum and I went on a trip. On our way back we went to America. So that meant Disney Land and Universal Studios.
At Universal we stopped for lunch, mum told me to stand in one spot and don't move. However the Miami Vice show came out and I was swamped by people, which just picked me up and I was gone. I raced back to the Hot Dog stand we stopped at for lunch but mum was gone already trying to find me. So I walked around till I saw this really tall guy. He looked like someone I could trust. Going up to him I asked if he could help me find my mother. Looking down at me Frankenstein's Monster groaned (stayed completely in character) took my hand and led me to someone who could actually talk. For those of you who haven't guessed yet, the next person to help me was Dracula. He then guided me to one of the security people of university and that they would take me to lost and found. which is where my mother was. Oh and Dracula also stayed in character, talking to me with a bad Romanian accent.
Since then I love horror and the Universal Monsters. And was probably the biggest impact on me as a kid.

The only recurring dream I ever had as a kid was about Frankenstein's monster and Dracula. They would just stand there glaring at me... not talking, not moving... just staring all hostile and scary.Dan From Aus said:
Then everything would go black and some weird red text would flash in front of my eyes... and then I'd wake up.
Used to freak the shit outta me.
I went on a massive monster kick a little after that though... vampires, werewolves and mummies and all that. They were awesome.
