Activision, Lionel, Mattel, TSR, and More in Boys’ Life in 1981

Offering up a list of suggested Christmas gifts is an important part of many magazines, both of the past and today, and this 1981 issue of Boys’ Life magazine doesn’t disappoint with a fantastic selection of holiday gifts. Between the grainy black and white images and the gift suggestions — Mattel Computer Chess as a standalone product? — this two-page spread is all of the eighties fun you need to make this day just a little brighter.
