Lived for a while at friends of my parents. They were "rich", or relatively speaking to me and from my perspective as a constantly broke student.
The kid had a Coleco Pac-Man mini arcade. I was constantly playing the game and the books lost out. At some stage, I was playing in my sleep, dreaming the different levels and keeping exact score at each stage.
Wasn't a big fan of Pac-Man, but the concept of a handheld computer game...
He also had a games console, that was referred to as "the computer". I wanted to know how you can program it. Sorely disappointed that you had to buy cartridges and couldn't do your own thing.
