1983 Zaxxon Mini Arcade Teardown
Added 2018-11-12 05:13:59 +0000 UTCA wonder of the early 80's gets a fresh look inside and out in 2018. How can I be jaded about these mini arcades? They're impossible to play, but just so undeniably cool. Enjoy!

That is in fact clever. Thank you for sharing.
2018-11-12 16:06:28 +0000 UTCOne toy I was really impressed with from the early 1980s (I think) was the Texas Instruments Speak And Spell. The voice was far ahead of anything else I'd seen at the time. I think I bought 2 for myself and later one for my daughter. I still have 1 or 2 that work. The keyboard sucked on the early ones buty later became a membrane type. The additional game modules were good too.

2018-11-12 08:11:10 +0000 UTCJust the sight of it illicits a certain full sensory memory..... Ya know that peticular smell and temperature of that specific time and place that you first encountered such a device.....
2018-11-12 07:40:10 +0000 UTCOh my - when I was a kid, we were friends with a really rich family, and their kid I used to play with had one of those. I had entirely forgot that existed!
