I just got the baseball one on ebay for $8.50 including shipping. Great condition with box and instruction card. These things seem to hold up very well mechanically and aesthetically. There are few other types of these on sale too, like roulette, drive technique and spin ball. I really like the baseball one and I will keep my eye out for this horse racing one. There is one on ebay right now for $12 obo, plus shipping but it says it's not working properly. Could just need some cleaning, but I always hesitate to open these old games up.
My brother and I had this and "Drive Technique" from this series. We're clearing out my parent's estate right now and I will be selling both on ebay soon. Cool little games, but pretty poor repeat play value by today's standards lol. But I seem to remember playing with them quite a bit back in the day.
Can you review any “water sports” games. The most common one was basketball, (held with 2 hands and had 2 buttons in a tank filled with water). Thanks!!
I used to have this way back in the day...loved it!!!!

ya, i opened up a tomy missile attack game to fix it once.....springs and gears went flying :P
The 'POCKETEERS' pocket toy series is what we had in Asia.
I used to have a game similar in nature. But, it was smaller, you were racing cars, and you used your finger to spin a knob to “power” the game.
I did a video on that one as well, I have one
