Very cool! I never saw this one before and is sure is in superb condition. I had the Red Line drag racing game that you mentioned. That thing ate batteries...dual 9-volt, too. I dropped it one time and then it didn't work quite right ever since. It would freeze up randomly. I hope you can do a review of it soon, I'd like to see it in action again after all these years.

Thanks for sharing! I'll get it soon! Great games in general and probably a must for the racing/speed fan or car enthusiast 😉. The Red Line one came out first so I wonder if this message was added to this game because of your experience happening often with others 🤣 ua-cam.com/video/KAuY6CpW828/v-deo.htmlsi=ezFAqtS3dIEfA-G-&t=150

That is so rad! Every time I watch one of your videos I find another hand held that I didn't know about and now I need to find haha
I have a Redline that HOPEFULLY I will get fixed and uploaded to my channel one of these days. The PCB was snapped and I have been doing trace repair and chasing weird issues... as cool as the Redline is, I much rather would have had this as a kid

[@VintageGamingMemories]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm happy there's something new that you saw 😁. I'll be looking for your Redline video which will motivate me to hopefully get one soon, lol . Keep up the great content.

I had this game, i had the drag racing one too. That one was great.

[@VintageGamingMemories]

An awesome set to have owned. I'm hoping one day I can say the same 😄

[@murderdoggg]

That looks fun, especially in the higher speeds, where I like the throttle response.
A drag racing game would lend itself to these controls, except parachute instead of brake.

[@VintageGamingMemories]

I agree. The sounds were an added bonus. I like how you think! Parachute on a drag racing game! I'll work hard on getting the Kenner Red Line drag race next 😉. Thanks for checking this out.
