my fav was a SWEET POTATO which was a big flat chew coated in cinnamon and it had a wee plastic toy inside which you retrived as you sucked the sweetie , sadly health and safety has done away with that one .

Seems almost innocent now compared to the games my boy has

Had a very similar console (also Binatone) but ours was the tennis game - a revelation in technology at the time! (it's still in the attic somewhere!)

Snap. Each player had a hand held controller with a knob on it. I think we got ours in '79

Four things from my childhood. Choppers are available again, and I could never get very far on the orange thing. Ended up being used as a massive football most of the time!

I also had a very old Scalextric type race set, which had the 1950's / 1960's style race cars, the track was made of Tin or Aluminium, not sure, but it was some very thin metal.

Don't know if anyone remembers that one?
