Scalextrix was my fave as kid.

hornby and scalelectrix for me too

The original nintendo was the best xmas ever, hours and hours of fum with duck hunt

Wow duck hunt is a huge memory for me! Our nan and grandad bought us the first Nintendo and it came with Duck Hunt. When our nan came in to tell us it was bedtime we blagged her to have a go, she was still playing it in the morning when we woke up and it gave her a bad eye for ages where she was aiming lol
