Asteroids ... fed a lot of quarters into the video game machine slots on that one.

Yup...on holidays going to Vancouver Island as a kid we'd drive aboard the ferry and spend the one tow hour crossing to Nanaimo from Horseshoe Bay. There was an arcade with space invaders (also available on Steed's link) and asteroids...and I'd beg my folks for quarters to waste my time on the passage. Well, given typical BC weather it was not always fun to sit outside.

In my late years at school I wanted so very much an Atari 800, and later a TI-99 - that thing looked so cool and slick! It was the time of Matthew Broderick playing "Wargames" in the cinemas. Another time, a better feel of life. Definitely missing it.

I later started with a programmable Casio pocket calculator, and a Commodore VC. Later came an Amiga 500 which i operated until 1998, I think. not before 1999 i came to my first PC. All university work I did on the PC of a girl-friend of mine.

Eighties' magic!

Fitting a small flat panel would probably work!
