    We have a Tomy Trainset at home.
    I had a Thomas The Tank Engine one when I was about 4 aswell.
    Had a blast of those hand-held game yokes.
    You know those "chargee" cars?
    I had the predeccessor.
    this tiny little flat-pack chassit, small yellow rechargable batter in the centre, servo motor, switch for "on" and "off" (just made the wheels spin, no way to control it) and the jack for the controler/charger thing.
    I forget if it was actually controllabel by the charger thing...
    It also had two differnt body kits that could be popped onto the chassis.

    Had some other strange things, which I've very faint reccollevtions of - 80's toys, but I was about 3/4 at the time, so it's a bit hazy.

    Yeah, my NES is lying around here somewhere.

    Also have a real old handheld from MB. It has a black back on which you could put different cartridges. I think there were four games in all though we only had two. Blockbuster (Arknoid clone) was one, can't remember the other one.

    Finally have a Nintendo handheld called Fire. Your job is to bounce people into the ambulance on your stretcher. It's pretty old.
