Showcasing the drool-worthy

Bandai Akuryo No Yakata or Terror House (1982, LCD, Solar, Model# 16814)
Solar-powered double-panel LCD game (it has two LCDs on top of each other to enable much more impressive scene changes and possibly 3D-like effects). Called Akuryo No Yakata in Japan, Terror House in other parts of the world. Neat design, I know of these double-panel games: Airport Panic, Frankenstein (or Mr. Franken), Hikyo Amazon (or Amazone), Terror House (or Akuryo No Yakata), Zaxxon. All but Zaxxon are solar-powered games.

** I included this because I thought it addressed the need back then for more dynamic screenplay, and layered LCDs were just the thing then. Also I liked it because the name was so clearly an English interpretation of a Japanese/Asian game.
