Does anyone have a story to share about their first memories about smurfs- because I would love to hear it!

My main memory is of putting together a Smurf playset that has pieces of "wood" that interconnect with little green "posts" to form a fence. Every night I would set it up on the floor beside my bed, so the little Smurfs would be able to play nearby while I slept.

In the morning, when I woke up, the fence would be mysteriously kicked over. I couldn't figure out what happened.

It wasn't until years later I found out it was my dad - he was worried I would trip and fall on the Smurf toys if I had to get out of bed in a hurry.

At least it wasn't Gargamel!

To me, as a child, the ColecoVision was larger than life - I looked at it with awe and respect.

I remember getting the Smurf Rescue cartridge, its bright box and instruction book (remember the "fun of discovery" section in the manual?), and I also remember the fact I couldn't play any level harder than 1.
