Casio memories. The CQ 81 was my first ever tech purchase from hard earned newspaper delivery.
I thought it was amazing, it even had an alarm!
I am from a slightly younger generation but still remember the boxing one. My dad had the Casio calculator dice game one below, and I have now got it in a drawer somewhere. There is something about this old tech from casio that still seems modern today. Even their old 80's watches are still sold new today and have a timeless look to them.

Ok, this thread bought back memories ... so sent me on a hunt to find the first model Casio digital watch I owned. It took me a while, tracked one down in the UK, arrived today. Couldn't be happier, I loved this watch as a kid.
Circa 1979

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same inside but I have the MG-660 spacies calculator. It's basically the same as the one you've shown here but has a thicker body with different buttons. I think the MG-880 is a thinner 'pocket' style.
The thing is, the MG-660's buttons have a better response which allows you to stab and mash them much faster which makes it much easier to stay consistent when the aliens come thick and fast.
Which is something the helped me become the undisputed spacies champion at intermediate :-) Oh, the kudos.
Re the FX-82, it's still on the market as the FX-82AU (or MS) and recommended for high school use. You can pick them up at your local charity shop for $5. Strangely, people don't seem to keep wanting to do trigonometry when they leave school.
Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
