I remember there was an early electronic game called Flashpoint which was a hand me down to me & my brother. The design of it was 1960s-70s.

It was a matrix of holes & a small jack plug on a cable, along with 3 LEDs indicating an arrow.

I can't remember the exact rules of the game but the jack was inserted into a hole an LED would light up to indicate in which direction the jack should be moved.

Eventually the jack cable broke & not having a soldering iron to fix it meant it was binned.
