Hello, lovelies.
Yesterday on Twitter I sent out an innocent little tweet.
I believe I may have started a (small) wave of nostalgia that only girls can understand.
I am looking for a copy of Dream Phone. I know Susan says she has a copy but I want to cover all my bases. So if you have one you want to sell me... I'll pay good money for that game!! The ones on eBay are selling for like $50!
Did you ever play Dream Phone? Do you understand the awesomeness of that giant pink phone?
Did you think Steve was the hottest guy in the game? (Cause he totally was.)
By the way, if you haven't played Dream Phone and have no clue what I'm talking about... the game is a cross between Clue and um, well I dunno the other one. You have a list of potential traits that could belong to your dream crush, and then you call up a whole list of guys and they help you eliminate these traits until you can narrow down your crush to one guy.
You call that guy and he (hopefully) exclaims, "You're right, I really like you."
I know, riveting.
So do you know the awesomeness of Dream Phone? And, more importantly, do you have a copy you want to sell to me? Cause I'm not even ashamed to pay for it.
Happy walk down memory lane... and Happy Monday!

I used to play this all the time, but I didn't remember it until reading this post! Unfortunately, I do not still have the game...I'm sorry!
omg Dream Phone!!! best game everrrr! I wish I had a copy. and Steve...100% the hottest! hahaha
Yes! Everyone loved Steve and prayed that it wasn't actually Spencer. Hahahah.
I'm a bit too old for Dream Phone. Sigh. But I DID have this bad boy...The Dream Date Game. http://www.amazon.com/Heartthrob-Dream-Date-Game-vintage/dp/B001EBEDES
Ahhhhh, memories.
I SO played Dream Phone. Sadly my memory is a little shakey so I don't remember Steve or any of the guys for that matter...
Ooh the many hours I played dream phone when I was younger.
I loved this game!
"Who who who's got a crush on you?"
AH! I remember it well.
Ah, Steve....
I had this game. This was so loooong ago. ha=)
This and Mall Madness were a definite favorite!!
I never have this game, it's never really that famous here but childhood crush? cute!:)
I didnt have that, but I had Dream Date... or whatever it was called. Similar concept, but I don't think there was a phone. Pretty sure there was a video. Haha.
How weird!! I was just thinking about writing about Dream Phone!!! I loved that game! I still have it, I don't think I will sell it though! I can't believe they are going for $50, I bought it at a yard sale when I was little for cheap!
This was my favorite thing! No joke--in my sorority we once were all sitting around talking about old games, so we bought this. And Pretty Pretty Princess if you remember that! Sooo much fun.
I WISH I still had one. I totally forgot about that game, but, it is all sorts of fantastic and awesome.
Hope you find one!
OMG! i used to loveee that game! i laughed out loud about the part on steve being the hottest. he was!!!
i tagged you in my latest blog post.
That sounds like a really fun game, and I'm crushed that I missed out in the 90s!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I love hearing from you. XOXO,
Allison
I forgot about dream phone...I used to play with mine all the time! Too funny!
I SO wish I would have saved things like this!!! I loved it! Good luck finding one! :)
OMG! I remember that! That is crazy for $50! I can't believe that....
OMG, this is hilarious!! I still have mine! If you want it, it's yours :).
Just let me know!
I thought about you last night, have you tried the library? I know some larger public libraries have games that you can check out. Worth a try, you know you will not play it enough to get your $50 worth! haha I'm sure mine is in my playhouse outside under piles of Christmas decorations. Tweet me if you can't find one and I will go digging!
So funny! My friends and I were talking about this game the other day. Well, this game and Mall Madness. Quite Possibly the two best games ever!
I hope you Find One!
I still have mine...but I kind of love it and will probably keep it forever :)
I made my husband play it with me once...and he won! For real! I didn't even let him win! Not cool...
And Steve was definitely the hottest :)
Hahaha, I totally forgot about this game until now! So much fun.
Ahhhhh, the dream phone! I don't have it anymore, but thanks for the memory :)
OMG does that bring back memories. Do you remember Mall Madness, too?
