Subject: 1980s electronic toy - nine differently colored buttons, several games... HELP
Written By: jonathan on 11/29/04 at 4:31 am
Hi,
There is this toy from my youth that is haunting me. I don't know what is called. I only know the following:
It had nine differently colored buttons arranged in tic-tac-toe style
It was electronic and about 8" wide 10" long and 1" high.
It had several games, including a memory game where you had to repeat a random pattern that the machine built one square at a time.
It also had a game called space invaders where one of the top three squares would "shoot" by lighting one of the middle three squares and you would have to press one of the bottom three squares.
Each square made a different electronic music note and you could play and repeat a tune you made up.
It also made all kinds of different sounds.
