MaximumRD Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Sweet pickups indeed bud! What I love most is handhelds like these represent an era that will never be repeated. Singular gameplay focus but with variations, they really had to put a lot of though behind these little gadgets, to me they have a real charm to them. These day I have only one I have today is BAMBINO BOXING I bought a few years back off a fella who doesn't collect such things. I include a picture (not mine) fun and interesting handelds.

Rowsdower70 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 There was a charm to these units as each one had to market itself individually. For example, how cool is the text on the side of that Maniac box? As a kid how could I resist? Those games are 1980 and 1979 respectively.I have NEVER seen that Bambino Boxing, that thing is a beauty!

LeeJ07 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks! It has the manual, too, and even the styrofoam insert inside the box. It was also programmed in part by Garry Kitchen, who also programmed several Atari titles. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
