Loved seeing the Cue Ball again. I had one around 1978 or 1979. Got it for Christmas. Hours of fun. Note: When shooting hold the shoot key down longer for harder cue shots. Thanks again for the memories since my Mom gave all our old games away many years ago when we left home.
Cool! I got the Entex PacMan2 when it first came out, it was 4 times more expensive at time then most other satisfied handhelds! I remember taking the Blip apart, just to see it worked as it was mechanical. And Split Second was super adcitve: game 5 & 8 got a lot of play time on mine; however, game 7 on Split Second was my favorite! I also had the Pocket Simon & took it apart to discover it contained a 4-bit TMS1000 microprocessor.
Wow what a flashback! These are the games I grew up playing. Kids today would never have the attention span to play any of these analog games. I'm surprised by your collection and they're all in good condition.
I did own some sort of really small handheld LCD clown juggler game in middle school that was pretty fun, That was a few years later, around 1979 or 80 I believe. Took a watch battery!
Wow. You have some of the things I got for Christmas back in the day. Blip was the first one and started on my journey of being obsessed with this stuff. I got that Star Bird toy as well one year, but it was the Intruder version. I had forgotten all about that thing! ...wow... I also Got Split Second one year (I played a demo model in a store every other day, and begged my folks for it). I had Invader from Space too, but that one I bought on my own. I made some money mowing lawns and I remember taking two very long bus rides one day to a place that was selling it. I took it apart and played with it outside of it's casing at one point... I was into deconstruction and figuring out how things worked... I lost that stuff over the years, but went on eBay recently though and bought them again.
Jason Turner wow great story it feels good to own them all again, I recall the excitement on Christmas and boxing day playing these things to death and driving my parents mad with the noise...happy days though.
14:10 - noise maker? 3:56 what, even, is it and what is the goal? -to ake your parents [grands especially] angry... wake the baby im looking for the black and yellow base ball game. with the detachable yet corded pitch controller.
I think I owned Blip, or knew someone who had one, and god it sucked! So loud and clunky and annoying. Ah well. Much better was a bit later we knew someone who had a full multi-game real arcade coinop Pong cabinet in their finished basement rec room, so I recall having fun playing Pong Hockey and such at whoever this was's house around 1978 or so. I also recall someone lending me their handheld Redline speedway game at lunch in grade school, and I couldn't figure out what to do with it. Shifting? Ok. There was no screen just noises so it was absurd.
Love those vintage hand held games. It was great Christmas gifts. 🎄.

A few friends had this Entex machine! Always wanted one. Ended up with Astro Wars in 1981, wasn't complaining. Love these old games!
I played the cueball and astro wars games as a kid while visiting grandparents. Sweet memories!
I loved Astro Wars.
Wow that's a lot of memories. Thanks.

These games were incredibly noisy back then. I think they purposely left out a mute function so that we wouldn't be playing these during class.
