1983 Not sure what game it is.

I'm extremely curious. It's shaped like Tron but the color is different. Is that yellow thing on the floor a Speak-And-Spell?

Yes it is, i still have my talking teacher and my fisher-price tape player.

(wrong answer buzzer sound)

Ooooh, I'm sorry. The correct answer is "Speak & Read", basically the Speak & Spell's little brother.

Don't feel bad. It's hard to differentiate the two, just remember that the Speak & Spell is orange, the Speak & Read is yellow, and the Speak & Math is grey. They're all awesome toys nontheless.

As for your tabletop game, I've been trying to figure out what it is. I can tell that it's a VFD tabletop game, with a 2 word title. If you want to try to find out what it is for yourself I'd suggest looking here. I'd say just from the style of the game it could be Tandy, Entex, Epoch, Tomy, or perhaps Bandai. I'm not saying that it isn't made by another company, but it's most likely by one of the ones I've suggested.

Damn, I remember having a photo of me and a friend in front of the TV where we had just beaten Sonic 2 on the MegaDrive. We were so proud and my mom had to take a picture of us! Been searching through bunches of old pictures, loose ones as well as ones in books but cant find the damn picture anywhere

Yep, it's Astro Thunder by Tandy! Could be a different variation, but it's the same game.

I had something that looked just like what you were playing with. Seemed like it was some Space Invaders style game and I have no clue what happened to it or exactly what it was (I'd love to acquire one).

I have a pic somewhere, taken c. 1981/2 I think it was when I got a high score in AstroSmash on the Intellivision, not sure where the pic is now!
