I distinctly remember bringing my POGS to school in the seventh grade, which was the 1993/1994 school year.

Well, I'm glad I answered before I read the thread since the answers were already here...

I am wondering what made some people choose air hockey over foosball? The rest of them I felt were indistinguishable interms of technology but air hockey requires power to push the air through the little holes...whereas foosball doesn't...so I'm just wondering what logic made people think air hockey woulda come first?
