ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER
- -----------------------------

     This Statement, as Amendment No. 8 to a previously filed Schedule 13D,
relates to shares of Common Stock ("Shares") of Radica Games Limited, a Bermuda
corporation ("Radica") whose executive offices are located at Suite R, 6/Fl.2-12
Au Pui Wan St., Fo Tan, Hong Kong with Radica's USA offices located c/o Radica
Enterprises Limited, 5301 Longley Lane, Suite 157, Reno, Nevada 89511-1806.
Shares of Radica are traded on the NASDAQ over the counter National Market
System under the trading symbol of RADAF.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
- ---------------------------------

     This Amendment No. 8 is filed as an amendment to an originally filed
Schedule 13D, dated June 15, 1995, and is further amended by Amendment Nos. 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 heretofore filed. As noted in the Schedule 13D and each of
the amendments thereto, each of the filing entities herein, specifically, Dito
Devcar Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Dito Devcar"), Dito Devcar, LP, a
Nevada limited partnership ("LP"), the DRP Charitable Trust ("DRP Trust"), TMP
Charitable Trust ("TMP Trust"), Dito Caree, LP, a Nevada limited partnership
("Dito Caree"), the Pickup Family Trust ("Family Trust"), the Pickup Charitable
Unitrust II ("Charitable Unitrust II"), TD Investments, LLC ("TD Investments"),
and BP Ventures, LLC ("BP Ventures") are record holders of Shares, and, although
Mr. Pickup owns no Shares of Radica, each of those entities, as identified in
the Schedule 13D and the amendments thereto, is directly or indirectly
controlled or operating for the benefit of Mr. Pickup.

     This Amendment No. 8 is filed to disclose additional acquisitions of 
Shares by certain of the reporting entities, and further to specifically 
disclose acquisitions which have occurred within the last sixty (60) days which 
have resulted in increased holdings of all reporting entities.

     The total holdings of Shares owned by all the reporting entities 
identified in the Schedule 13D and amendments thereto exceed 10% of the issued 
and outstanding Shares of Radica. The identity and address of each reporting 
person (including entities) is as previously reported.

     Acquisitions by all of the reporting entities have increased the holdings 
of all the reporting entities to a total of 5,914,618 Shares. Within the past 
sixty (60) days, the Pickup Family Trust has acquired an additional 205,400 
Shares (bringing that entity's total holdings of Shares to 450,000), and Dito 
Caree has acquired an additional 41,500 Shares (bringing its total holdings of 
Shares to 1,025,500). Dito Devcar Corporation did acquire additional Shares in 
a period prior to sixty (60) days before this Amendment No. 8, and its total 
holdings now represent 2,650,000 Shares.

     Subsequent to Amendment No. 7, two of the trusts, the DRP Charitable Trust 
and the TMP Charitable Trust, changed their Trustees. The Trustee of both 
trusts is now Mr. Dennis W. Harwood who has replaced Mr. Richard H. Pickup as 
Trustee of those trusts. Mr. Harwood has acted, from time to time, as attorney 
and legal advisor to Mr. Pickup and various of the reporting entities, and, 
although Mr. Pickup no longer is the Trustee of said trusts, by reason of the 
relationship between the entities and the fact that members of Mr. Pickup's 
family are beneficiaries of said trusts (together with various charitable 
entities), those two entities will continue to be reporting entities as members 
of the group.

     Over the past five (5) years, none of the filing persons nor any of the 
entities identified in the Schedule 13D, nor any trustee of a trust or general 
partner of a partnership, nor any manager or member of a limited liability 
company, nor any of the officers or directors of any corporation identified in 
the Schedule 13D have been (1) convicted in a criminal proceeding, or (2) been 
a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body which 
resulted in a judgment, decree or 


                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6

final order enjoining future violations of or prohibitions or mandating activity
subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with
respect to such laws.

     Although Mr. Richard H. Pickup is the controlling person, trustee or 
majority shareholder of each of the entities identified in the Schedule 13D, 
and it is acknowledged that he exercises sufficient control in order to 
consider each of the reporting entities to be treated as a "group," there 
exists no agreements or understandings, either in writing or orally, between 
any of the reporting entities and/or Mr. Pickup concerning the Shares nor their 
holding, voting or acquisition or disposition of any Shares of Radica.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------

     As previously reported, the Shares are acquired by means of private 
capital or working capital of the entities acquiring said Shares and no 
portions of said funds have been borrowed. All Shares of BP were acquired by 
working capital of that entity. All Shares as reported herein as acquired by 
the Pickup Family Trust, which transactions did occur subsequent to the most 
recent amendment to the Schedule 13D, represents working capital or capital 
contributions made to that entity.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
- --------------------------------

     As previously reported, each member of the "group" controlled by Mr. 
Pickup has purchased Shares in Radica for investment purposes only and no 
agreement, formal or informal, written or oral, has been entered into by and 
between any of the filing persons in connection with the information of any 
group or any group action. Shares acquired by the Pickup Family Trust were 
acquired for investment purposes of said Trust. None of the other filing 
persons has acquired or disposed of any Shares and the holdings of all filing 
persons are as reported in Item 5 hereinbelow.

     Each of the filing persons retains the election and right of making 
further acquisitions and/or dispositions of Radica stock from one or more 
sellers or buyers, either through open market or negotiated private 
transactions, or disposing of all or any portion of the filing persons' Shares 
held in Radica stock, to one or more purchasers, either through open market or 
in private negotiated transactions.

     None of the filing persons has any present plans or proposals which may 
relate to or result in:

     A.   The acquisition or disposition by any person of any additional 
securities of the issue or the disposition of securities of the issuer.

     B.   An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, 
reorganization or liquidation involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

     C.   The sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or 
any of its subsidiaries.

     D.   A change in the present board of directors or management of the 
issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of 
directors or to fill any existing vacancies upon the board (excepting as to 
voting of Shares for the retention of directors, seating directors and/or 
making recommendations for the seating of new directors in the manner in which 
any of the filing persons believes best serves their personal investment 
interests).


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
     E.   Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the issuer.

     F.   Any material change in the issuer's business or corporate structure.

     G.   Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
issuer by any person.

     H.   Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association.

     I.   Causing a class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

     J.   Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

     Although no member of the filing persons has any present plans in
connection with any of the foregoing, none of the foregoing actions by any of
the filing persons, or any member thereof, can be ruled out in the future for
either the short or the long-term.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
