Electronic Retro Sports Game Assortment: Basketball Electronic Games

Good addition to my growing old school handheld electronic gaming collection. It does play slightly different than the 1970s era original, some of the sounds are a little different different and that’s not all bad - like a net swooshing sound when you make a basket instead of a two-tone beep. The “clicky-ness” of the buttons are a little less satisfying than the original if that makes sense (softer buttons without that click you get with a bi-metallic strip), but it is close enough to bring me joy while playing this little guy. Good for burning 5 minutes or so while waiting around. Has the ability to mute the sound that I don’t remember the original having, so it has that going for it. Now if I could just find one of those red led pulsar watches at a decent price...

Just like I remembered

Gave this to my two grandsons for Christmas. One is 8 years old and the other is 7 years old. It was one of their favorite gifts. Love this toy!

Just like the Hockey and Football handheld games the basketball one is fun . Childhood memories. My Son likes it too.

I am glad to see these type games making a comeback. This is a nice one and well-constructed. I like the silent option, and I like the idea that it is portable and can be taken in the car, etc. The 13 year old I purchased it for has a younger brother and 2 player option lets them play together which is nice.It does come with batteries and they were fine, but I always purchase additional batteries for products that include batteries because you never know how old the batteries are.

bring back childhood memories playing this game from the lat 1970s. It is inexpensive and easy to learn. My 8 year-old son loves playing. Volume adjustments for high, low, and none. Great gift to keeps kids busy. Adults love it too.

Product description is misleading; it’s really a “pass-and-play” 2-Player game. It can technically be played by 1 Player by making shots from both home and away teams—that’s the “1 Player” mode. Still a fun little retro handheld game with fun sounds, solid build and challenging play.

I have the 2002 version and I did not know this was a 2014 version until I got it. The 2014 version is much better and has the upgraded sounds along with more displays for scores. It is very solid and good construction. It does not feel cheap, but retails for only around $15 if you can find one... It brought back the childhood memories with modern electronics integrated in the new one. I would definitely recommend this one for anyone looking to take a stroll down memory lane of the late 70's and early 80's electronic games. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!
