Then I was a child in the 90's (I'm born in 1989), I remember that we had a old gaming console, with a lot of fun games (I think back then). The console was connected to our TV, and we had both a joystick and a keyboard connected to the console. The games for the console was gigantic floppy disks. Slightly thinner than PC floppy disks, but the area was about four times bigger. Most of the games was in colour.
I remember a bit of some of the games:
One of the games was a platformer (with "screen" shift between the areas), shared in four "worlds". One of the words was characterised by blue "rocks", and the last world was almost utterly red.
One of the other games was a game version of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_Fortune_(U.S._game_show)]Wheel of Fortune[/url] (we had a Danish version).
And an other of the games was a line, which should collapse a lot of other lines to complete the "map". Some kind of puzzle game.

Someone knows the name of the console, based on my sparse description, and/or the games?

When you say "console", do you actually mean computer? I don't recall any console ever using floppies (and it sounds like the ones you're describing are 5"25 floppies, same size the C64 used).

This came to my mind.. maybe is this what you're seeking?

Atari XE game system?

Please describe how the keyboard and floppy drive attached so we have a little more to work with. :)

Could also have been the Commodore 64.
I'm assuming you're just talking about 5.25" floppies.

Sounds like the Odyssey to me

Yeah, but he also said the keyboard was "connected" to it. The C64 keyboard was an integral part of the machine itself, like the BBC Micro, the ZX Spectrum, and the Amiga 500/500+/600/1200.

Thanks for the replies.

@Wishbone:
I know it wasn't a computer, it was a gaming console. The floppy disks you described however, sounds correct.

@Vythonaut:
Hmm, it could be. But I know that it doesn't take regular PC Floppy disks size, as the pictures show. And I remember the console being grey in colour (minor detail, however).

@Snickersnack:
Hmm, the keyboard looks familiar. But the console itself don't.
All the stuff was, as I remember it, connected/attached to the console itself, and our TV was connected as the monitor.

Then that's said, I want to outline, that it is many years since I played on this, so not all that I said are 100 % correct remembered.

True, but people are idiots.
Yesterday on Reddit someone was asking for the name of a SNES game which turned out to be a NES game.
And similar things have happened here as well, so it's best to assume peoples memories are at least partially wrong :P

I'm tempted to suggest the Amiga 1000, more to get it out of the way than anything else.

Hmm, it was definitely not the Amiga 1000 I was thinking about. However, my grandmother had one of those, and I've a lot of great time with that too :)

Maybe you could go through the Home Computers list to see if any spark your memory.

Commodore 128D ? Although this is a homecomputer, too. And what you descrie fits more to a homecomputer than a console. For many people homecomputers were just for gaming, too.

Well, you know how it is guys. Someone posts a "please help me remember this gaming-related thing from my childhood" thread. You start googling stuff from the information given, and from what you yourself remember from that period. But then, as your search widens, you start to stumble across more and more obscure, though interesting, things, you start to veer off on a tangent, and before you know it, you've suddenly spent half an hour reading about something completely unrelated to your original search.

Long story short, I stumbled across this article, which I think some of you may find entertaining: 41 Most Unnecessary Consoles and Accessories of All-time
