No contest, I spent 10,000 hours with this thing fighting off the cylons. It's a bad day in the Heiler house when I find this thing to this day.

I had a Spider-Man/Hulk electronic pinball game that went kaput very quickly. It was soon replaced with the Wildfire Pinball game. That one was awesome!

This was my favorite:

I could spend hours on this. It wasn't even mine; my friend Rob owned it and he got bored with it so I would borrow it for weeks at a time. I could never figure out how to be good at football, basketball, baseball on these things, but "death from above" was right up my alley.

I had a Merlin and loved it.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Parker_Brothers_Merlin.jpg/180px-

The thing I held in my hand that gave me the most pleasure was........

(Sorry I couldn`t resist :hokay: )

This is the one and only Astro Wars. I pretty much got to the 10000 top score every time but it never stopped me going back for more.

I still have mine boxed up somewhere. Definitely loved that game.

I liked any kind of sports game. The Mattel line was great.

I also liked my Coleco Quiz Wiz.

[Mikey]

This one was always my fav .......

I had a LCD Dungeons & Dragons game. I don't remember who made it. I think might have been Mattel.

[HardyGirl]

I never really played w/ this stuff, but I really wanted a Blip and I had a Pocket Simon.

[Creaturella]

I LOVED Merlin! I think it was permanently glued to my hand. :smiley1:

[Marvelmania]

I had all the sports ones Football, Football2, basketball and the baseball one. I still have them all except the baseball game and yes, I still play them.

[Evel KMego]

Yes! I loved the Mattel football game. I could really make those red dashes move!!!!!!

I must have gone thru watch batteries like a fat kid thru cupcakes. Now that I mention it, I think I went thru cupcakes too.

[Boris71]

I can't remember the name of it but it was a "3D" game and it looked like a pair of sci-fi binoculars and was a raceing game I think they had 3 diffrent types, there was also a cool cave man "console" style game like astro wars that I was partial too

HA!
I read the title to this thread and figured I'd be the only one to mention this game and there it is in the FIRST post!
I still have this game and LOVED it.
You obviously remember that there was a pattern to the "cylons" and you could predict where the next one was coming from to win big! LOL

My one regret (and I vividly remember doing this) is that I was SO excited when I got this that I TORE the box open to the point that a whole section of it was ripped away but I still have that remnant along with the styrofoam insert, etc and that is how I stored it away after each use and for the past 30 years.

I also loved a game called COMP IV. It's kinda like Mastermind. Still have that one in the box too. My sister had Merlin.

My brother and I had this and baseball. Loved them to death.

[daffy213]

I probably enjoyed Merlin the most

[david_b]

Definitely the Galactica game. DON'T know why, but it was so addicting. Never was into the sports games..

[UnderdogDJLSW]

For me it was the Space Alert Game, Too. I had the Coleco Football and the Mattel Baseball, too. I still have every one of those games, too!

This guy has a cool site that has virtual versions of these games.

I loved to Coleco's, but I had the "Head to Head" versions of football and baseball:

Hmmmm....

When I was a kid there was a series of these weird little rectangular pocket games. They were all the same size, but the games were super-different. My fave was "Steeplechase;" a 3D maze that you had to move a little ballbearing through. It included a lot of moving obstacles.

Kinda wish I remember what those games were called. 'Course, I'm also glad I don't; 'cos I don't need to be collecting anything else!

[BlackKnight]

Yeah,.. I was always Fond of Pocket Pool Myself. :grin:
I didn't have any of these Games,.. Nore knew nothing about them.

I picked one of these up a few months ago on ebay. Mint-in-Box with all the instructions, foam, etc. Looks and works like new. I think I paid like $8-$10 for it with shipping. It can get addictive. It's very primitive compared to anything new but that's ok because that's what I grew up with and still enjoy it.
