For those of us who are children of the 80's, also known as children of the electronic age, what handheld games did you have in your possession

(I would say "owned", but if like me, we didn't have enough allowance money to "own" those $30+ games back in the 80s)

My list (w/o images)

Mattel Electronics "Classic Baseball"
Mattel Electronics Football
Coleco Electronic Quarterback
Coleco Bowlatronic
Coleco's Pac-Man Handheld (see attached pic)

None truthfully but I do own the Gameboy Advance, DS, and 3DS handhelds.

I remember having this one. VTech Talking Football.

Some of these are slightly larger than handheld, but here's some of the toys I remember having as a kid....


Simon


Merlin


Little Professor


Speak & Spell


Speak & Math


Lights Out


Computron


Electronic Detective


Atari Lynx

I remember Simon and Merlin--never had them but remember them. I had that Little Professor calculator.

I remember that Little Professor calculator. I also had the Mega Man game from Tiger Electronics. I don't remember hte other ones, although I'm sure I owned them at some point.

There were no handheld electronics when I was a kid. The first transistor radios came out. But that was about it...

Had one of these too. Bought a new one when they were reissued a couple of years ago. Good times.

you forgot the stick that you used as a rifle (and if your stick was warped, the other guys had permission to say you missed, cause your aim was wrong) :) (oh wait, we have to ban stick-rifle games now, don't we?)
