My daughter had this computer for her birthday last year, from argos for £49.99

In the box you will get the computer console which is made of purple ond orange plastic, it looks very strong and has lasted almost a year so far in our house which is a miracle.

You will also get the leads to connect the computer to your tv, this is easy to do as they are pins that go into the scart.

You get one controler but can buy these seperate for £14.99.

You also get an instruction manuel and a game.

THE COMPUTER CONSOLE
The computer console has a lift up lid on the top to be able to store up to 6 games in which i find is good as they are not scattered all round the house.

The on off buttons on the computer have a sun for on and a moon for off which is great for younger children as it is easier to understand.

The games just push in to a slot on the computer and pull back out which is quite easy for a child to do.

The computer runs on c type batteries and these dont last too long probably about 10 hours but you can buy a power adaptor for the computer for £9.99


CONTROLER
The controler is big and chunky so great for little hands, It has four light up buttons for use in the game play, a large orange button to select things and jump and a joy stick to move around.

The joy stick is particularly good as it has a large bauble at the top so can be grasped very easily by young children.

The cntroler can be turned round so that the joy stick can be used by right or left handed children.

GAMES
The game you get free with the computer is winnie the poohs honey pots.

This game has many different things you can play on it and teaches many different things.

My daughters favorite setting on this game is to walk winnie the pooh around the woods where he has to collect honey pots either in the order of the alphabet or in number order.

There are a lot of different games available and come in different age ranges.

Games range from £15 to £30 depening on where you purchase them from and all teach valuable educational things to your child.

The games them selves are plastic cartridges very simular to those that used to be in the old game boys so they are not fragile and will with stand thr abuse a child will give them.
