Something similar to Major Morgan???

[pegasus]

Hi, Im pegasus 27 yoa.

Im driving myself mad trying to remember the name of a hand held electronic educational toy from the 80's. Was similar to Major Morgan but was red and white I think , also cards went in top instead of bottom. The cards allowed games such as matching pairs.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks x

I had a Maximus, who looked quite a bit like Gerald from Pigeon Street.

Some of the games were quite challenging.

Not sure what happened to mine in the end, some of the card got too chewed up to fit inside.
