I had two of these old gaming machines, Caveman and Pac-man. A friend had a Tron one that I played a bit. I remember having a few of the adaptors as the wire right at the top of the adapter always seemed to suffer wear and tear.

I’m glad we have the rechargeable built-in batteries for portable gaming now, but those old games had me entertained for hours.

There is something sublimely cool to me about those units.

Astro Wars…….I think I remember seeing that when I was a kid. The unit is very familiar.

I remember in the early 90s a good friend of mine (Scottish, of course) had a Pacman (could even have been “Munchman” I guess) unit that allowed for two player simulataneous gameplay.

Needless to say, it was phenomenal.

I’d love to read through the code of these games. Pure AI logic, laid out there.
