This is the first computer system I ever played with, circa 1983. Again, our cousins had the console so we only needed to buy the game cartridges. I remember playing the classic Pac-Man and Space Invaders on this system but what fascinated me the most was a game where you have your pawns (? characters?) on a seesaw and there are 4 to 5 rows of square bits moving from left to right and vice versa at the top of the screen. Your goal is to let one of your pawns bounce off the seesaw, retrieve as many square bits on top as possible and land it back on the seesaw so the other pawn would get bounced off and do the same thing. You'll go to the next level when you finish collecting all the moving bits on top and game over if one of your pawns missed the seesaw and hit the ground.
I don't know if it's one game by itself or comes as part of a family of games. I haven't found out yet becuase according to this list there is a total of 544 games!
