Title: anybody got an ID on this game?

Saw it while browsing an internet forum. Never seen it before, and was interested to see if anyone had some intel on the unit.

Oh wow.....I remember that. I never had one, but knew people who did. That was a long time ago, though. I don't recall any details about it.

Edit: A little info

(Note: OPs first post doesn't work for me) Wow. I remember that. I never owned one, my sitters kids owned one.

I don't remember too much about it. From what I can recall it used a roll of printed plastic in lieu of a video screen. Those kinds of games were huge back before Tiger Electronics and their fixed LCD screens flooded the market. I think everyone had one type of game or another like that.

In the second link I don't recall it being backlit, which might be why I never played it. The bulb might've been busted.

Checked out http://www.inthe80s.com/ and I didn't see it there. Maybe it's older than the 80's?

If I recall, it was 70s.

I remember that one, it's The Single Square Tic Tac Toe game.

I remember it being very difficult for the second player to win.
