How nice is that "Touch Me"!
I'm still trying to find one too (as I've kinda given up on finding the cab).
By the way, I always wondered: does it play that famous Sam Fox song when you win?

I recently found Simon, his circular "cousin", still great fun too.

Wow great, that Touch Me would probably the only hand held I'd want........after all it's an Atari.

Read in "Atari Business is fun" that they had developped more hand-held games but guess who blocked them ? Yup the management guys who were afraid to loose their 2600-selling bonusses....nothing really changes sometimes....

I bet that game would be banned today for "sexual innuendo" or something like that.

Yeah....they intended the Touch Me arcade machine to have the boob-like controls like those of "Gotcha" but it was changed for marketing reasons if I'm not mistaken....

The pocket Touch Me looks like a calculator because......it's in a modded calculator housing.....
The big mistake IMHO are the too small buttons. Ralph Baer was pretty smart to take it to the next level and make a "party"/multi-player game out of it with HUGE buttons.
