Coleco Donkey Kong Tabletop
Coleco's mini-arcades were tiny cabinets with a glowing vacuum fluorescent screen behind printed artwork, and Donkey Kong, from 1982, is the one that best captures the look: sky-blue sides, Mario, Pauline and Donkey Kong on the top panel, and a joystick and jump button on the control panel. Along with Pac-Man, Galaxian and Frogger, the line sold in the millions and gave kids an arcade cabinet for the bedroom shelf, even if the gameplay was a sketch of the original.
