I had this a Christmas present when I was a young chap in the 80s. I broke it when I took it apart to find out how it worked. The app is absolutely superb. It's free and no adverts.
I give this game credit for saving my life on the road. A triple dodge situation where I ended up driving away in shock wondering if I was actually back there on the side of road in a crumpled wreck.
There's another recreation of an old electro mechanical game I'll do a video of too though admittedly it's a little more annoying at pushing ads to you
I am so mad I can’t find this for my phone! I truly hope someone makes recreations of the old Tomy pocketeers games for the phone. Or even just it’s own dedicated handheld. Cool stuff, thanks for showing us! 😁
Don't use deoxit on battery terminals. Mix water and baking soda and use that with some q-tips. It's way cheaper and won't stain the plastic the way deoxit does. Baking soda and water neutralizes the battery acid and also cleans very well. It also doesn't leave any residue.
I was super thrilled to find this and there's one more I'll be doing a video of but I confess that one pushes a few ads at you so I'm reluctant to recommend it. Still, for those who don't have the original this will suffice
You can use rechargeable batteries and there is also the fake coleco batteries that allow you to plug them in. I think the phone app is inferior. There isn't even a nostalgia factor with the phone app. But I hate phones in general. Phones should just work. It shouldn't 10 minutes to turn them on and they shouldn't be spying on you. I still use an old style phone with physical buttons and instant on.
