Does anyone remember the name of that portable game console that had it's own screen and controllers on in a case?

Mid 80's, shortly after the atari pong gadgets.

BOOM! My cousin Trevor had that. It didn't last long, but it was the cat's ass for a month or two!

I had one of those and I remember after a while the springy hand would not stay in the arm anymore.

I also used to watch Small Wonder. Looking back on reruns of that show now, though...oh my goodness. Man, talk about terrible! I guess times were just different.

They've been playing a lot of Alf lately. Anyone remember that? My son (seven years old) was channel surfing one day recently and stumbled on an episode. He actually left it on and enjoyed it.

I then had a remember when moment. Very vividly, I remember going to J.C. Penny's (yes kids) & seeing my first dual cassette deck with soft eject

Eventually, they worked their way to boomboxes & yours truly was king for a month after getting one of the first offerings. Imagine 6 or 7 eight-year old boys, standing in circle around a boombox, watching a cassette tape eject.

Man, the phone of the future....
