    Yup. I had 2. I'm certain there's one in the attic, along with Tomy Munchman (Pacman stand alone clone), Space Invaders, and Melody Madness, all standalone miniature arcade games.

    I had the Shark/Jaws one too which was excellent at the time.

    Spent hours and many batteries on these machines in the summer. I also remember you couldn't play them if it was too bright or sunny out !!:eek:

    I always wanted one of these since I got a go of the blue one at Cleary's lego exhibition in the olden days - thats a whole other thread!! :D - I've been tempted to get one or a virtual boy a few times on ebay but I've managed to be strong so far.

    Mmm, nice! I had the white one (racing cars) and the grey 'stereo' one (airplanes). I was addicted to playing them.... still have them somewhere in the attic.

    Ahh the tomytronic 3D's.The 3D effect is still suprisingly good even today.The driving one (thundering turbo's) and the tank one (sky attack) are probably the most impressive.
    I've all them bar the sherman one (which apparantly is pretty damn hard to find).
    In fact the scanned instructions for the driving one on the handheld.com page is from one of mine.
