I like the Atari Video Pinball machine.
It has a set of games using the two distinct controllers - the flippers on the side, and the paddle. Its named for the pinball games (and a cross of pinball and pong), but it also has Breakout. The paddle controller, when clean, works very well. Its quite fun, and in color. The oddball game is a form of basketball crossed with paddleball, where you bounce a ball and shoot into into a set of lines representing a basket. I've enjoyed mine quite a lot, and they are inexpensive still. They come in white and woodgrain, but I think the unit inside is functionally the same.
I also enjoy the lightgun games of several systems using the GI Pong on a Chip design. Not only do the all black lightguns look cool (and very 70s - no orange tip here), but its a fun game for everyone in the family.
While I have no experience with them, there is the PC-50x family of consoles. These are also first generation in that while they have cartridges, each cartridge has a new chip in it, not a ROM chip.
