I'd play this one when walking, and when in a car I'd look out the side windows and pretend I was running... hmmm. hard to explain... running flipped 90 degrees. So the telephone poles and stuff would be horizontal to the Running Me. Anyway, I'd have to jump over stuff like those and signs and whatnot.
Actually, come to think of it my parents would often say I was the silent, constantly thinking type. I wonder what they'd think if they found out I was just playing videogames in my head because gameboy wasn't invented yet.
Heh, I've thought of something running along, rather stylized, typically myself or me and an imaginary opponent in animu-esque battle. Ah, the jumping and/or flying/gliding along, shifting between 'fore' and 'back'grounds as signs were flipped around, trees were bounded through (might explain Naruto's obsession with it...), and houses and car were hopped along.
Oh, who here's familiar with the carpet (or other floor material/distinctions) being lava?

FFFF. My childhood right here. And I am very familiar with that. You could make safe spots with pillows, but you'd have to consistently jump off them so they wouldn't melt and stuff. I loved those days.

I keep finding little things like this, that I used to/still do and think I'm the only one. It always surprises me. XD
I remember whenever I this happened to me I would literally stand at that spot trying to figure a way to get to the other side... Man the memories

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Glad that I'm not.

I still do this, minus the magma.
I also did that with the alternating squares. The thing I loved the most was hiding between the clothes circular racks, almost everyone did it at least once.
^ Oh jeez, yes. It was like a little cave. For the home version, if you have a short table in the living room, you could take the couch cushions and form a little cave, with the couch pillows blocking the entrances/exits.
*theoretically goes to walk along tiles with my feet diagonally centered on each one*

Wish I could still do that. Damn me getting older and bigger -- used to make elaborate tunnels using every pillow around the house and boxes.

Same here. Except instead of me, I made up a trio of robots who were under 2' tall, and they rode hoverboards like in Back to the Future, ramping off of roofs and riding along fence rails, etc.
Twenty years later I still sometimes do this if someone else drives.
Line running was great! it was even better with friends, then we would re-enact epic scenes from movies when we hit big gaps and yelled things like "C'mon jump! There's no time! Hurry!" and "I'm not going to make it! Go on without me!"
