Vertibird? Vertisim!

You folks remember the Vertibird toy helicopter? I used to play that stupid thing for hours - and I mean HOURS.

There is a Vertisim available (apparently since 2001!). I got it to run under Windows 10 by using XP SP3 compatibility.

It's actually not that much fun, but good for a quick trip down memory lane.

I probably went through 3 or 4 of those things as a kid. Loved it.

I seem to recall removing wound up shag carpet from mine.

I had one, too.

It was a ton of fun.

Loved that toy. I bought one for my kid in '96 or so. She loved it too.

Now that you mention it, I bought one for youngest son a while back as well. It was either a reissue or a knockoff, I don't remember the specifics. I ordered it from a hobby or toy website. I think it was around 1999 or 2000 or so.
