Well, before this toy thread fades away, I thought I'd try to gather as many of my electronic toys together and take a few pictures. I still couldn't find them all, sadly. It's late, and I don't want to dig through dangerously wobbly stacks of storage tubs and general piles of junk. So this is the easiest stuff to reach. I know I've got other football handhelds, and a Luxor tabletop Scrabble spin-off game. I just don't know where I put them.

And yes, I know that I should have dusted off the Big Trak first. The flash makes the dust layer look so much worse.

I didn't include a lot of stuff, like my Tomy Atomic Arcade or my Super Mario Bros. pinball game. I consider those more toys than electronics.

Nice. Looks like the Coleco Total Control you got from me at OVGE has found some friends.

Go for it, dude. I'd love to see your collection!

They aren't electronic, but they're still cool little handhelds from the '70s. I bought two packaged Tomy Pocket Games today (as mentioned in the Thrift Finds thread). Pocket Poker and Sentence Nonsense. I'm pretty sure I knew a kid who had the Pocket Poker one, although I never figured out how to play it. And I can't explain why the price tag on them say "cheese". Unless they're acknowledging the inherent cheesiness in these things, but I don't think the flea market stand owners are that meta.

Meet the gamers with a decidedly retro edge. Remember Burgertime, Paperboy, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage and Radiant Silvergun but have no problem wreaking havoc in Halo? Well then... welcome home.
