Yes to a few, notably the Atari Console.

We had access to a lot of games not available over here - because there was this American Kid in the village whose dad used to bring them back from the states. You just plugged 'em in and they worked.

That Mattell soccer game looks familiar too.

Shame there is no 6 Million Dollar Man or an Evel Knievel stunt bike.

Phillips G Pac 7000. Was a poor man's Atari but we had hours of fun playing classics such a Pickaxe Pete and Monkey Shines. Happy days.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

I was a very lucky 11 year old in 1981!
