Hand held game from 80's

trees1179 · Guest

Was wondering if anyone can remember this game system I had in the 80's as a kid. It was a large brown touch pad and you had different "games" that you slide into the front of it. It spoke to you as well. Most of the games were educational, there was one about musical instruments and it would make the noise everytime you touched an instrument. Others were one about the solar system, a haunted house game and game about a lost dog. If I remember correctly it had a circuler pattern on the front of it before you slide on the game you wanted to play. I want to say it was made by mattel, but I can't find it. Anyone have any idea what the hell I am talking about? Help would be great! Thanks!

I may be completely out of it but aren't you talking about mattel intelivision, the cartridge video system ?

Though I now notice the question was asked a year ago and the OP hasn't been back since... Crying or Very sad

Yeah, it might time to purge out some of these 'post once and never return' people...

There's several that signed up, posted a Forsale message, and never came back...

Anyway, maybe Texas Instruments Touch & Discover?
