I figured this forum needed a thread based on what us older gamers used to play before home consoles really hit the mainstream.

Games or toys like Big Trak, Speak & Spell, Simon, Wildfire Pinball, Merlin, or board games that used a 'computer' of some sort... Even electronic vibrating football.

I still have my Merlin I got for Xmas '79. It sits in the attic, when I last checked about 3 years ago, it still works. I still swear up and down, most cell phones of the early/mid-90's had stolen the Merlin's design.

What were your favorite non-video electronic games?
