Time travel on the gaming table: Which classics from the 70s and 80s do you still have on your shelf?

Good morning everyone!
Recently, while rummaging around in the attic (or at the flea market), one or another old classic from childhood days ended up in my hands. That immediately made me nostalgic.
The really big boxes, the typical smell of old cardboard, plastic figures without any frills, and dice that still had real edges.
Back then there were absolute milestones (or also wonderfully chaotic dice games) that shaped generations. Hence the question to you.
A) I treasure genuine retro gems from the 70s/80s and actually still regularly bring them to the table today!
B) The nostalgia is strong, but mechanically today's games are miles ahead – they're more likely to sit on the shelf as decoration.
C) I'm a child of the 90s (or younger), but I know the old classics from stories or from my grandparents.
D) Not everything was better in the past – I prefer playing the modern hits.
Which board game from the 70s or 80s do you associate with the best childhood memories?
Which one have you perhaps even kept to this day?
Please write it to me in the comments. I'm super curious about your retro highlights!

Letter D applies to me. ☺️ In the early 80s - maybe it was already the late 70s 🤔 - the games "Teufelsdreieck" and "Flottenmanöver" fascinated me. Both were by Milton Bradley at the time -> does anyone still remember those TV spots "MB presents…"? 🤩🥰 Gameplay-wise, the classics no longer appeal to me. Accordingly, almost all of them have moved out by now. Space is (unfortunately) finite. 😕 But only "almost," because: I still have "Der Hexenmeister vom flammenden Berg" (Schmidt Spiele). 🥰

D The exception and only old game is "Peking Akte" because I think it's really great.
