Playing this right now!

I love these!

Sure do!!!! CIB TomyTronic Pac-Man handheld............. 
 
that same year (Christmas 1980) I actually asked for the Entex Pac Man 2 handheld......I remember going to K-Mart with my mom and asking them for it (since I had seen it there for sale before-hand) and the employee talking her that they were recalled due to a licensing issue over the "Pac Man" name. So I ended up with the Tomy version instead. UNTIL 1998 and I bought one off of eBay complete but with no box!
 
 
Posted a high score on the emulation version of the TonyTronic Pac Man here........    http://highscore.com/scores/DedicatedHandheldEmulated/TomyTronicPacMan/8066

Did anyone else have the somewhat round, yellow Pac Man?? It was pretty decent!

It is similar to the NES controller.  I'm sure Atari used the NES controller as inspiration for this.  On the inside, it looks almost exactly like the NES controller...rubber boots with the metallic dot.  I'm not sure why the buttons feel squishier than the NES...maybe the placement as you mentioned. 
 
It is a good controller, but not really worth what they cost on Ebay these days due to rarity. 

Does anyone else have one of these?  Apparently, they came with the European version of the 7800.  I got this one from Ebay a few years ago, but it was broken.  I finally opened it up this weekend, and it turned out to be a bad wire.  I had a standard 7800 controller with a broken shaft...so grabbed the wire out of that one and transplanted it into the gamepad.  It involved some cutting and soldering.  The standard controller uses slide on clips for the wires, but the gamepad uses soldered connections.  Gamepad wiring was really cheap -- low gauge. 
 
Now it works perfectly, and I'll say, it's a big improvement over the standard controller.  It's a shame these weren't standard in the USA.  I've heard bad comments about the gamepad, but it works really well if you ask me.  Buttons are a little squishy, but no big deal.

They are small....don't take up much room....LOL

She say's "We don't have room", I say we can always make room!!!!

Me too. $60 would seem a bit steep to me. Can get a nice original for the same or less.

They re-made the Mattel games a few years back, and I must say, they were excellent.  They added a volume slider, which was a huge improvement.  Still, I like my originals much better.

wonder what the price point will be............. my Donkey Kong was $59.99 back in the day............

She just saw that and died laughing! But, I'm dead serious!

I have to have the originals!!!

Here is Mrs. Greenween's reaction.  Ha ha ha ha ha.
 

I wonder if they will still have VFD screens ........or some other type............

Same here RickR! SO many hours playing football and baseball.

They are beautiful! I just broke the news to my wife that I will have these in 2015!!!

Yes there was but it was shaped a little different than those..............
 

I remember those, but have never owned one.  I think they are totally awesome!  If they make new ones, I'll be all over that.

I have a meager collection of the old Mattel Electronics handheld games.  Basketball, baseball, football, etc. 

Never owned any, played a couple!! Awesome!! Wasn't there a Zaxxon too?

How many members here own one or all of the Coleco Tabletop Games? 
 
 
I still have my Donkey Kong (CIB) along with the Coleco Perma Power adapter too!!!
 
 
and have you heard about this in 2015???????...............
