I was rather overwhelmed with all Choppers being mentioned I had a shiny purple one... Still have actually

Just seen a notification pop up saying you replied Phil and i thought for a min, o no whats he put comment wise That quite tame for you!!!!

some of the stuff in my attic...what can you spot in the pictures... also the black rubber thing is a rubber baton round fired by the police during rioting...lol

Saw this on eBay and thought WTF, a quick google came up nothing else like it - but memories of other bikes - how the world has changed... ...the choppers and other bikes like them !

In this topic will try to inc any pictures, videos and advert from back in the day for a trip down memory lane of when we was kids. The age of electronic toys that would cost the earth back in the day and once you got it would eat batteries like no tomorrow. First up we have Milton and Bradley / MB Starbird later called Starbird Avenger with new lights and sounds. The AD

Some people are just ruined!

Tart!

Excellent as usual mate J

Thanks for the video, better than any tv very enjoyable as regards a comment you made in the vid. "If anyone knows what am doing wrong" i know you mean about the machine but your doing nothing wrong video wise, a natural funny as!!!!!

also I really do like it when you show street view and link a machine to a place and a story.

Just watched the video and I thought it was brilliant and in the main that was because it proves through the medium of emulation and even with your prep work that you cannot guarantee results against mathematical probabilities and differing profiles of play. I am glad (and don't take this the wrong way please) that your results had not been consistent because it proves the way in which probabilities in play profile can change. I would imagine that on opening the streak pot the machine must attribute a certain probability on a JP repeat against just continuing white board jackpots only and in your video we see evidence of both. Wonderful video. I totally felt your frustration as I had a similar thing when I swore blind to you recently that John Francome would be good for £20-£30 from a RAM reset and on your video it didn't behave itself. Maybe you felt frustrated that it didn't play 'ball' but in a way I think your video is all the better for it that it didn't.

They were the dogs bollocks back in the day but the seats made me feel like I wish I was a woman. Harder than a jail cell bed!

Here's mine total original in space blue MK2 Chopper

Had a Chopper, the bottom Grifter and a BMX but in actual fact I only commented to say @Reg>>>>>>>> YOU FUCKING PERVERT!!! Love it mate.

Playschool Major Morgan 1979 James May takes the classic Major Morgan toy and put it to use with the help of an orchestra.

Tomytronic 3D The Tomytronic is a series of portable, handheld devices released by Tomy The device featured a strap so the player would be able to wear it around his or her neck in between playing.

Galaxy Invader. All info from wiki. Fire Away was the first Tandy game to hold the name. Released in 1981, Tandy licensed the game from the Japanese company Gakken who created and sold the game under the name Invader. The game was also licensed to Computer Games Limited (CGL) as Galaxy Invader. Galaxy Invader. The following year, in 1982, Tandy introduced the next Fire Away under the title Cosmic 1000 Fire Away. Like the first game, Tandy licensed it from Gakken who sold the game as Galaxy Invader 1000 while CGL also licensed the game, selling it under the same name as Gakken. Galaxy Invader 1000 1984 saw the introduction of the Tandy Cosmic 3000 Fire Away game. Like the first two games, this was a licensed product from Gakken and thus it used the same basic styling as its fore bearers. Gakken marketed their game as Galaxy Invader 2000. Galaxy Invader 2000 Theres also an app on google play for the Galaxy Invader 1000 which is the better known of the two.

Next we have the Schucotronic 1981 - Grandstand Firefox F7 from 1983, never had one these as a kid

today I found this really cool Caveman emulator of the tabletop here http://www.pica-pic.com/#/caveman/ looks like its an embedded flash and I really want to download it to play offline and keep as an offline copy. I tried the usual firefox tools, page info , media , I normally use but nothing I've tried can get it. tried file2hd as well but no luck with that either. Iast I tried saving the complete webpage but it didn't work. pretty please does someone more tech savvy than me know of a way to get the swf. I've tried a flash decompiler,,disassembler , hex editor in the long distant past to try to reverse engineer online only flash games but it was too beyond my capabilities and I gave up. I found this article with a list , does anyone know which item might be able to grab the embedded swf file ????? (I'm assuming that's what it is) here's the link https://github.com/dsasmblr/game-hacking thanks for any help anyone can give me and some I really just need this caveman one to add to my handheld remakes library carrying on with the thread, here's some more pics of some good ole 80's toys and finally these from v-tech here's a nice site for all your handheld games http://handheldempire.com/games.jsp

awesome the tabletop games were,we were allowed to take them to school on the last day and I remember someone bringing in computer battleships. where you press the red launch button and a sound effect of a missle would sound and you'd hope for a blast of white noise for a hit,haha god those were the days lol I bought Caveman about 15 yrs ago from a carboot for 30p and I still have it and it still works !!! anyone remember firefox ?? hey guys just sussed if you click once on the image you can resize smaller by dragging the corner boxes before submitting post,cool

Ha! I used to sell stuff like this when I worked in a Model Shop years ago. "Bandia" stuff was mega popular with hand held Space Invaders and Galaxians games....... we sold shitloads of those. I used to spend a good half an hour every Saturday evening playing with all the stock lol

Next we have possibly one of the best handheld games, which i did have with the adapter for power must of come for a jumble sale as did most of my toys. Grandstand Astro Wars. The AD is included in this video. And theres also an app on google play (as only just found out)
