    Me and my brother got one of these as a joint Xmas present, it came with a free game- Combat!

    I loved playing Space Invaders, Frogger, Empire Strikes Back, there was also a space game where you had to input coordinates into a gadget to then hyperspace jump and fight other space ships, can’t remember what it was called but it was great!

    It’s still at my parents house in the original box…

        Yes that could be it! I just remember it being amazing and futuristic pressing the buttons and zipping through hyperspace

        I can also remember being very disappointed that the Atari packaging art never reflected the game graphics lol (I was young)

        I had that on the Atari 400 without any instructions. It took me forever how to refuel. Also, I later found out this weird game I remember playing was Conway’s Game of Life and its significance way later in life.
