Every few years I check to see if they’re for sale again.
That toy was way ahead of it’s time.
I think my parents might still have ours around somewhere.
Might be worth an archaeological type dig around to drag out over Christmas
Found my grandads when clearing out his stuff in February. He was impressed with my purple one so we went to Argos where he bought the red one around 15 years ago. We’d sit in the summer house playing with it for ages. Funny the memories that stick!
Yep, still got a purple one.
Definitely played one of those! Quite good.
This brought back memories! I had one when I went in for major spinal surgery around ’04. I was the only kid in the ward to have one, and it got passed around a lot. I didn’t mind sharing because I knew I wasn’t the only one who was bedridden for days on end. I think I’ve still got it in a drawer somewhere.
Used to think it had a Laser or something to read your mind as a child, my mates and I spent alot of time with it especially when camping! Fun times.
I remember the large 20Q thing as a kid, with that spinning arm that makes a floating display. That blew my mind
This thing was witchcraft when I were a lad! How did I know I was a microwave?!
I spent a few hours training the website the data came from in the late 90s. It was just as uncanny. “The neural net on the net” http://20q.net/
Mine’s still at my parents’ place somewhere in a box. It was great! Surprisingly tough to beat, unless you chose something totally unreasonable (which of course we did as kids.). It would even guess when we answered for rude things, and well, it managed to answer with a euphemism. We were impressed.

I still have my purple one! Great little thing!
Had a purple one and loved it!! I also remember the donut Simpsons one
I realised on seeing this that I have one in the drawer behind me. Pulled it out and it still works. Thought of a hammer (no idea why), and it got it.

Tamagotchi?
Surpingly enough I remember these. I probably sold you it when I worked in retail 20 years ago.
Lucky you! I owned one of those but lost it when I moved to the UK.
They’re rare now because they were withdrawn from sale due to a dispute.
