I had one as a kid, I saw someone post one in a finds thread some time ago,
Its like a multi game, rectangle in shape, rather big needed two hands to hold. it had maybe 4- or 5 rows of 3 or 4 square colored light up squares.
thats about all i can think of
thanks

I'm pretty sure he means this one (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tandy/CompArcade.htm), which was also known as Fabulous Fred by another company (CGL?? can't recall).

That looks like it was rereleased as a version of Milton Bradley's Simon... I remember watching commercials for that thing, or something that looked like it, when I was a kid.

I think it has some Simon-like games, but it's meant to play a lot more than that, hence the extra buttons.

Hah, that's the one I was thinking of too, but kudos for actually remembering what it was called.
