I'm of the younger LEGO generation (only 18) but I'm proud to say, after reading all of the Oldie's posts ;), that I played with 'em old style. Instruc-what? That paper that came in the box was for drawing out new designs, not for following the directions written on them. My parents would nearly tear their hair out when ever they bought me some new set and I proceeded to dump all the pieces in the large bin with the rest of the previously-known-as-sets. I'm very tempted to go get 'em down from the attic now...hell, the WoW servers are down anyways :)
K'Nex, a newer building set I believe, is also incredible. An amazing number of things can be built with that. I built a 6 wheeled tank-like vehicle with independent suspension and a motor to drive it...most fun I've ever had while being grounded to my room for a day.
LEGOs are always > anything as far as I'm concerned.
