What games did Ricky Schroeder have on Silver Spoons?

I think he had a Dragon's Lair...but I'm not sure. Did the games change over the course of the 5 seasons?

On different occassions he had a Pac Man, a Gorf and a Frogger, oh and a Dragon's Lair... among others.  When ever one of the characters was shown playing a game though, it was some generic fictional game.

Now what were the names of the games that were at the Saved By The Bell hangout (the Max)?

Manhole was a Nintendo Game & Watch. Could have been refering to that?

According to trivia at www.quarterarcade.com:

The classic "Silver Spoons" TV show from the 80s has a Dragon's Lair, Gorf, and Asteroids Deluxe featured in Ricky's living room!

Any games Ricky or his father (Edward) touched were fictional.  Others that lay unused in the background were real.  

Extracted from the book "Arcade Fever: The Fan's Guide to the Golden Age of Video Games":

...the game wall, lined at various points in time with a Pac-Man Mini, Gorf, Tempest, Dragon's Lair and Asteroids.  [Ricky] rarely played them, but he occasionally availed himself of his only fictional machine,... Swamp Wars.

Be careful.  He gets mad if you call him Ricky.  His name is Rick now.  Don't call Laurence Fishburne Larry either.

Manhole was completely fictional. But it made its way back to the prop barn, and showed up in other TV shows after that. I remember seeing it on Married with Children at the bowling alley where Al Bundy went bowling.

If I remember correctly Ricky got the Manhole cabinet as a birthday present. I don't even think it appeared on more than a couple of episodes.

Nick at Nite played this show for like a week some time ago.
I was sitting there watching the show on the TV next to my PC.
I then looked down at my digital camera and snapped a few photos of the TV.
Really crappy quality..but you can make out SwampWars in the Asteriods Cab, the Gorf and the Tempest.
In the second picture you can see the Mini Pac-Man.
I thought I had more with Dragon's Lair, but I can't find them now.
They did seem to change by season or episode.
If I find more pics I'll post them.
