[net.games.trivia] Colorforms

  Does anyone remember Colorforms?  This was the kid's game that had cutouts
of people and clothing and things made from a shiny vinyl-like plastic that
felt weird and was pseudo-sticky and all the pieces adhered to each other or
to a specially treated board.  Seriously, does anyone know what these
materials were?  I have an application for them.

There's a little piece of that stuff in every reel of magtape we get.
Perhaps you should try a teachers supply store?

I think Colorforms are still around.  At least, one of my
children got some just a couple of years ago.

Check in a toy store--you may be able to find out who makes
them.
