12. Fucking hell, that takes me back. Remember playing that thing in my Nana’s house.

13. Oh my god I’d forgotten I had one of these, kinda just melted my mind a bit there.

18. My sister had a space invaders mini arcade machine a bit like this which I loved but I accidentally cooked it one day by plugging the wrong voltage transformer into it and being an 8 year old I didnt have the courage to tell her.

19. Clearly I’m too young, what is/was it?

20. I think I must have driven the equivalent distance from the Earth to the Moon on that thing back in the day.

21. I’m 55 and my brother & I were given a Spectrum 48k for Christmas when we were teenagers. I loved all the games that came with it. Happy days!

22. Made the sofa into a car and gone for a long drive…..

23. Had one and watched a video on it a few months ago and I swear I remember it being a lot more complex than the video showed, just my childhood mind I guess

24. If anyone is interested in how it works / what’s inside, here’s a [repair video](https://youtu.be/eC7pjCC_jRk?si=fzjP1oqjxuNV0QQz)

    Following this video I managed to get mine working after being in storage for 30+ years!

25. I feel so old….

26. I had one of these! Absolutely loved it. My brother also had the Tomy handheld one that you held up to your eyes, Tomytronic I think?

27. Thanks for reminding me of this!

28. My first too along with a table top space shooting game I can’t remember the name of.

    Then Atari 7800, Master System, Mega Drive, PS1, Dreamcast and so on.

    My sister has Speak and Spell.

29. I had this. Just epic.

30. I drove so many bus routes with one of these

31. I wanted one of them Soooo bad, I never got it. I did get a BigTrak though so wasn’t all bad.. Until the milk lorry ran over it because I left it in the farm drive..
    Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

32. I wanted this so bad when I was 6! Thanks for the memory!

33. I still have mine too!

34. Mine had pop-up headlights, I spent hours and hours and countless batteries playing with this

36. Memory unlocked, I think mine is still in my parents somewhere, now I have to find it

37. Oh my fucking god, I loved this, I forgot it existed

38. “You mean you have to use your hands? That’s like a baby’s toy!”

39. Nice, quite difficult to get one with such low mileage nowadays….

40. I had this, the Tomy football game, and Atomic Arcade pinball. Tomy absolutely smashed it with their toy design.

41. I would have killed someone to have one of those back in the day.

42. It might be time to print off some documents regarding ‘how to give your children up for adoption’ and leave them out in easy to find places.

43. A friend of mine had it, it was amazing.
