Pyramids were such a thing in the early 80s.

My friend's grandfather had a pyramid in their garden. Not a big stone one, but more like 4 sticks in the ground. He would take naps in the pyramid hoping to cure his cancer. It didn't work.

Some more info: The Bandai Pair Match was a one or two player matching game (basically like Concentration). It was used as a prop in Star Trek: The Next Generation (frequently seen in Ten-Forward of the Enterprise): Bandai Pair Match in Star Trek: The Next Generation

More Pics, a ROM and even the manual are available at the Handheld Games Museum - check it out.

I don't know what this is or what it does, but I want one.

Is it like a game of Lights Out?
