Atari 2600 clone with 100 built in games. At the time I didn't have a clue that it's actually Atari, nor I heard of it until many years later. And before that few lcd games, don't know their official names.. yeah and a small plastic Romanian pinball, that I used to modify, building ramps and stuff

Grandstand Scramble, PacMan II (Entex), Frogger and Amidar. I did have BMX Flyer but it broke.
I remember I borrowed Munchman off a friend and returned it to him several hours later as I had manage to clock the scoreboard more than once. |

Gakken Pinball, the white/blue/red version (1981).
Still hope Madrigal comes up with a simulator one day. I had other LCD handhelds, some PacMan clone where you could go under 2 or 3 bridges, can't quite remember. [edit] Found it, it's Mini-Munchman. Last edited by Retroplay; 19 February 2017 at 20:01. |

Before my Spectrum (and since dad's PC was off-grounds), all I had was a formula one LCD handheld minigame. It's still somewhere at my parents home. Tried to Google it but didn't find it. It's really old. Like early 1980's old.

Atari 2600 for games, pencil and paper for writing/drawing. I mention the latter because after the 2600 was a c64 and Speedscript got me through many homework assignments.
