Xmas 1981 Electronic Toy Round-Up

This was before the home micro boom gripped the country so the closest I got to playing Space Invaders or Pacman at home was in the form of LCD handheld games. I had Galaxy Invader 1000 by CGL and also Puck Master and worked hard to "clock" each of them, especially the PacMan clone.
There was something captivating about playing them in the dark too, with the glow from the screen filling the room like a fairy-lights on a Xmas tree.
