Senior Editor Jose Ferrer, who edited the toys stories, claims he was too busy to play, but he acknowledges that he would like to try a newfangled gun called Lazer Tag: "I was also intrigued by one toy, Spacewarp, which looks like a high-toned version of a marble game I used to love." When he was a boy, recalls Ferrer, toys were less exotic.
