Excellent choice Steven!
I was about to say Space Invaders because of that Super Cool T-Shirt Elliott's brother is wearing in E.T.

I actually have that t-shirt somewhere. Doesn't fit me anymore though considering it's from the same era :)

 :(, since googling is cheating then I "give my tongue to the cat" on that one.

Hey it's on the pic: Journey (was also a lousy videogame).

About the cat.....I think that probably badly translated from French to English because it uhhmmmm, sounds kind of weird !!!

I guess it means the same as "throwing the towel" ?

OK, anyone else knows what Nintendo game was first to have speech ?

Yes indeed that lousy Journey game!
Always fun to translate expressions litterally but you guessed the meaning right.
2 points for André!

OK, the answer is Radar Scope.

OK, most Radar Scopes probably didn't have it, but some did....

Yes, I could have explained but I thought it would be a bit like "peeing in a violin".
Nice french expression too, huh?

OK question time:
Two-Joysticks controller in Robotron 2084, cool, but what is one of the (accidental) reason there are this kind of unusual controls instead of the standard joystick+button configuration?
