Apart from my zx spectrum...... I loved a game called 'Simon' - it was an electronic toy where you had to copy a sequence of button presses. It was brilliant. (just idly found an online version www.freegames.ws/games/kidsgames/simon/simon.htm)
I also had a kind of 2D mini-lego - thousands of different coloured tiny plastic mosaic pieces (a bit like real-life tetris blocks) which would plug into a big white lattice frame not unlike an electronics breadboard - you could make pictures or patterns with the tiny blocks. Can't for the life of me remember what this was called, but even though it was obviously a choking hazard, it rocked.
