I did know about the Color TV Games and the playing cards, but I didn't know about the Breakout console or Steering Wheel one. Cool, thanks for the lesson!

I didn't understand the name of the second one. How is it called?

Is the racing 112 the first steering wheel?

No, it says "Puck Man." That's what Pac Man was called in Japan.

[clubpenguin777]

Look @ the thin with pac man on it next to the screen. If you look closely, it says "Fuck Man".
