Only ever had the one and I think it was the plum-coloured one where you play as a tank, switching between three 'lanes' and shooting down spaceeships. Mindblowing stuff as a kid! Not so mindblowing having yer Dad place a strict limit on how long I could play it for!DS90Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483453203193593827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025237254916249648.post-26924994264355626532016-07-28T14:13:48.916+01:002016-07-28T14:13:48.916+01:00Like the sound of that Dracula one...can vaguely r...Like the sound of that Dracula one...can vaguely remember someone bringing it into school once now that you've mentioned it!

Got Dracula as well, similar setup but you have to make your way through a castle and then pick the right coffin to find Dracula... Tricky stuff.<br /><br />A few people in school had the Tomytronic 3D things, managed to get myself one off eBay about six years ago, then found a boxed one in a charity shop not long after that. Great stuff - still after a Scramble one though.<br /><br />Our gaming evolution was similar - Pong machine to Spectrum to Mega Drive and so on. Our Pong machine was called the Grandstand TV Master Colour or something along those lines. The Binatone one you have there is the same as the one we set up at Replay events and so on :DTwoHeadedBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946450138433182058noreply@blogger.com
