Oh yeah. I've even seen a site (not mine) featuring a series of animations called Hurtin' Pikachu. There aren't any bloody deaths, though, so... make of that what you will.

> When I was in elementary school (a whole six years ago!), the fad was pogs. You know, the round pieces of cardboard with logos or pictures on them, and there was some game involved, but I'm not sure how it was played. Probably similar to Tiddly-Winks.

From what I understand, each player puts the same number of pogs in the stack as they're willing to sacrifice. Then each player takes it in turn to slam the slammer onto the pile. The pogs that come off belong to the one who made them come off. I could be wrong, though.
