Silly toys of childhood days

I have two Colors - they seem to be in this nice time period when they're too old to be worth anything, but too new to be considered antiques. Also a flash cart, since finding games is a bit of a PITA nowadays.

I had one of those things:

Basically a toy laptop with some math/geography/German edutainment games, but also a few utilities like a calendar, address book, and most importantly a BASIC interpreter. Guess what I ended up doing most of the time...

When I had this, all the cool kids had a NES or a Master System. We got a Master System when everyone else was moving on to the SNES/Mega Drive

That's an MSX game, Hyper Rally. My father works in an electronics company and they were making an arcade machine that was an (unlicensed, illegal) clone of it, so he brought it home and let me play it. It was already over 10 years old by then (the game, I was younger) but I still found it amazing.

He's in the second room with all arms, full amo & 200% armor and you complain about the keys?

Something something 'I played lame Doom mods before they were cool' something something.

Chex Quest 3?

MathNerdCNU

CQ1. Well, might be CQ2 but it was one of the first hits in my GIS.

aliceif

But that's the Hacx SuperShotgun, isn't it? That one wasn't in CQ1.

MathNerdCNU

Double checked and it is from CQ2. I herped-da-derp. So here's a genuine CQ1 shot:

Much appreciated!

Holy crap this just reminded me of my favorite toy as a kid:

My brother and I must have re-enacted BTTF3 1000000000 times with one of those.

Best. Toy. Ever.

He's wearing a cooking pot for a hat, so of course we called him "Pot Head", totally clueless to any other possible meaning...

FrostCat

oh man, I always wanted one of those.

I had 2! One was my dad's, it must have been from the 70s. It was 150 in one but in the wooden frame as above. Stuff like that was pure magic for a 10 year old.
