RickR Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I got mine on ebay for about $10 shipped. It's pretty good actually. Very good approximation of the originals. LeeJ07 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 is this something new or has it been out for awhile? I've never seen a Plug-n-Play LED game........

Arenafoot Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I bought this one years ago, but I've never opened it and/or used it........

nosweargamer Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I bought this one years ago, but I've never opened it and/or used it........ It's best left that way. I reviewed the two player version that came with more games. I think I would enjoy the 3 in 1 more.

Atari Adventure Square Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 These handhelds definitely have more of a 'You-had-to-be-there' appeal to us retro gamers who started out with these mobile games back when electronics was turning out to be a kid's best friend. Portability, multi-player ops, brief time-efficient rounds, basic strategy - all-in-all some incredibly-tight fun in a small package. Battery turnover was the biggest setback, and even that didn't affect us as much as it did when larger sets came about (looking at you, Coleco Pac-Man...aww c'mere, gimme a hug old pal!). I dunno what they expected out of a big screen port. NoSwear's vid pretty much sums it up. Just a terrible idea. But those original handheld re-issues I see popping around? Pure gold! Get those instead. Impress your friends, family and co-workers. Amaze the dog! Bore the cat! Get some batteries! Still have my Battlestar Galactica: Space Alert. Had so much fun with it, it earned a spot in the family and I gave it a name. uh...I named it Battlestar Galactica: Space Alert, to avoid confusion.
