I have in the loft the following handheld /table-top games:
CGL Invader 10000
Grandstand Firefox F7
Grandstand Astrowars
Grandstand Starforce
Grandstand Scramble
Grandstand Caveman
Grandstand Minimunchman
CGL Frogger
Tomy Sherman Attack
Tomy Shark Attack
Tomy Thundering Turbos
Tomy Sky Fighters
Tomy Planet Zeon
Tomy Sky Attack
And the all important 'Universal Mains Adapter'
They all still work and most of them are still fun to play.

The computer I wanted. The Sinclair MK14.

You can now make an exact emulated copy using a PIC chip.
I did have just the CPU and that sold for £60.
Some of my TI calculators.

the post of calculators above reminded me of this:
Except it's not really a nostalgia moment for me, as I still have it in my desk drawer, and use it on a fairly regular basis. I also have the manual, including a set of programs you can type into the vast 422 byte memory; I used to program it quite a lot, more often than not to say rude words at people, and also a "random number guessing game" which told you if you were higher or lower and counted your guesses. Hardly likely to beat the Wii as a home entertainment device, but it entertained me.

This is still my only working calculator, must be 18 or 19 years old now.Except it's not really a nostalgia moment for me, as I still have it in my desk drawer, and use it on a fairly regular basis.

(hoping they allow cross-site image linking!)I programmed it to do Mandelbrot sets in colour, including dithering. It took around 3 hours to fill the screen, so I left it as the current graph. Until I lent it to a friend of mine who despite me saying "Don't clear the graph", he did...
I still use the calculator almost daily.
