Big Trak

[ElectroMecca]

Very cool :-)

[ericmorris0572]

1:24 the kid clearly presses 1 then 5, WHERE THE FUCK does that come into it??

[drummastikz]

"hello, can i interrupt you for a minute?" kids thinking, 'fuck off you big baby' 

[haywardsdave]

BigTwat brain...yeah very simple like HIS brain..!!

[TheRowlandstone73]

I wonder if the new one actually does proper right-angle turns so it actually goes through the front-room door instead of twatting the skirting board?

[zzsql]

They have these on Ebay used, of course.

[demonkid83]

oh i think i can handle pressing the button, can i do it? yea. *presses button* building explodes

[englishrapper]

you can buy this at IWOOT

[UncleFeedle]

Looks like an episode of the old school's programme Watch. What's interesting about this is that devices very much like Big-Trak are still used in primary schools today to teach co-ordinate systems, direction and measurement. The Bee-Bot is one example.

[painsey]

i had one

[oufc29]

oh my day am so glad that bigtrak is comeing back out again i had one of these when i was 8 years old yeah i get to be a kid again

[loco6607]

This day and age if you asked Peter to do anything he'd probably tell you to fuck off...

[uksoundwave]

@loco6607 Yep he would tell you to fuck off then his homies would jump you and make a happy slap vid

[TheOriginalCBK]

@loco6607 Haha! Love it!

[hihat101]

[fragglet]

@jaybo197306 They have re-released them. The Firebox website sells new ones.

[volatileacid]

remember seeing this on tele as a kid. Always wanted one because I was a gadget freak - but never did get one :/ ! But great memories still of the advert from the 80's.

[captaincuss2009]

i got one if you want to buy it ;}

[marky2112]

I had the similar corvette called 255 computer command.

[baraki808]

today this toy is not even considerd a computer its just a toy with a microchip that can store temporary data!!!

[eshney]

All the rest is poppycock......hghghghhgh

(Said Rimmer)

[PornstarPaddy]

Big Trak taught me co-ordinate geometry! Painlessly!

[trikespotter]

0:36 Sorry, explain what that is again? A brain???? haha.. Classic. Had one of these with the transporter trailer for tea and biscuits. Imagine my parents surprise when I programmed it to tip when it arrived at it's destination. And no mention of the photon laser cannon in this demonstration. Damn pacifists. lol.. Left mine under a recently oiled chain on my bicycle. Careless stoopid shit of a kid. Slap me. :D

[technojools]

I always wanted one of these. I wanted to program it to drive right through the house. Now I support programs and programmers. Hmm

[socialgrudge]

I used to have this..Where can I get one?/

[SniperDaws]

i wonder how old peter is now?

[JackHL]

Ahhh  Memories !!

I want one again.

[UrgentementeUK]

Yay BigTrak, I loved mine as a kid, eventually sold it to get the money to buy a ZX81 ! (starting me on the slippery slope to being an IT sysadmin...doomed!)

Would love to get hold of one again..

[thebob34]

what a top toy this was, remember the apple cart you could buy for it

[SH1FT1]

I played with this to death as a kid,, Broke from over use + little brothers,, I have a brand new one in the Loft which I got off of Ebay a couple of years back which I am gonna give to my boy next christmas,,Hope he likes it as much as I did!

[lancetexas999]

cool I used to have one...I traded a kid I knew for a shit load of match box cars

[LeethalG]

fucking legend!

[1502shado]

mb should bring it back .lets star a writing campain.

[Adventurestud]

I had one - it was gray colored. It was my favorite toy ever. My father accidentally broke it with the rocking chair! He rocked back on it and - CRACK! Oh well, that's another reason I love Youtube.

[mainmedic]

OH WOW !!!! I haven't seen one of these in years. I was given one of these for my ninth birthday. It was AWESOME! It even had a laser weapon. I also had the trailer that went with it. You could deliver something and then drop it.

[dangerbird71]

Wow I got one of these for xmas in the early 80's. I took it to school and was very popular that day! I wasn't allowed to take it after that though. Wish I still had it!

[stealthrt92]

Big Trak rules, I still have mine from 25 years ago.

[erichathy222]

always wanted one

[sync5controller]

ditto. I always wanted one to... still do. I could actually build my own updated version now. Maybe I will!

[jamesnlou]

I had one with a trailer when i was about, want to get another one now .

[bodnotbod]

I didn't have one and nobody I knew did either but I had always wondered what all the numbers were for. Amazing what you learn on YouTube.

[mikkifly]

i had a big trak had a trailer too

[fixman88]

The ones sold in Great Britain were white while the ones sold in the US were gray. I still remember the commercial for it!

[python39]

Great Learning Toy, I would not be where i am today without it.

[jay02905]

i had one of those holly shit! it didn't do much though

[neomrdo]

I've got 2 big traks. Mine are grey tho!

[Crazyconsultant]

wow I had forgoten about that noise it made before it moved and after it stopped!!! so many memories!!!!

I love it!!

[woodyfriday]

He should of shown off the blue lazer cannon

[98snakeeater]

Holy crap this brings back memories of my 1st grade math class!!
