How about Air Pinball from Radio Shack? It worked like an air hockey table. Not much of a game in retrospect, due to the lack of actual scoring, but the artwork is fantastic.

Screwball Scramble/Run Yourself Ragged/SNAFU, I believe this one is the variant I had. Like Mouse Trap without the board game getting in the way of the action.

Big Loader from Tomy. Quite clever, the chassis would move along and attach/detach itself to the different truck bodies to scoop and dump little black marbles through the chutes. There was a larger set called Big Big Loader as well, and I believe you could connect the two of them.

A couple of racing games from Soma. Looking at them now, they're kind of like EM arcade driving games. Particularly the "screen" one, it projects a looping racetrack that slides left and right when you turn the wheel, and you try to keep the car sticker on the road.

My first RC car. You could shift the forward/reverse lever into the little "turbo" notch for a speed boost, and the car could play electronic revving sounds, even screeching tires when you steered.
