# Like everyone else, I too loved lego a little too much.
However, in the days before we got our first ZX Spectrum and when the Atari VCS was still too expensive, I remember having a few of those Grandstand games. In particular...

Astro Wars



Munch Man



and another one called 'Demon Driver' that had an entirely mechanical display and a little steering wheel, but I can't find a picture of it.

# I had Astrowars
And a few years ago, I bought one off eBay in it's box. The kids loved it and for a while would eschew the PS2 in favour of it.

# I bought my young nephew one for his 6th birthday
he genuinely thought it was some kind of new technology and was thrilled and played it constantly until he found out it was from the '80s, where-upon it was left to his Dad to take the baton n run with it.

Kids today eh? Pchaw! ;)

# Astrowars!
I remember completing this in the back of the car on a journey to Yorkshire!

# Astro Wars was extremely popular!
My fave tho was Alien Attack www.davesvideoarcade.co.uk/tabletop/TomyAlienAttackScreen.jpg I still have one and I still play it.

Firefox, Invaders From Space and Tron are all fantastic tho! www.davesvideoarcade.co.uk/tabletop.html
