Fondly remembered: Playing Punch-Bug (I grew up in Ohio; we called it Punch-Bug there. Also, the hit-back bit wasn't part of the game - you would gently punch the other person and go "Punch Bug Orange!" (or whatever color) but they didn't get to hit you back. There was also a game, for older "kids" driving with a boyfriend or girlfriend; it was called "Padiddle/Padunkle. If the girl saw a car with one headlight out, she said "Padiddle" and kissed her boyfriend; if he saw a car with a rear light out, he said "Padunkle" and kissed her. As for the other games: "Cruiser Bruiser" makes me laugh, and "Camry Compliment"? What's up with that? I mean, ick, how smarmy.)
