    Their mini-arcade machines from around 1982 - 1984 are their most famous ones.

    I knew about ColecoVision, but I had Intellivision II and Atari 2600 growing up.

    My middle older brother who turned 50 this year had the sports ones. I remember the football, baseball and hockey ones the most since we shared a room for a few years.
    He still has them.

    One day as kids, we were playing A-Team and we got on my buddies garage roof and was running around shooting bad guys with our toy guns, well one of the neighbors started yelling at us to get down or she was going to call the police, so we did as the A-Team does and jumped off the roof of the garage , landing on a Holly Hobbie oven, breaking our fall and making us look cool as shit. You was wondering how I was gonna tie into the video wasn't ya.

    Always like the hockey game where you could control the players and there's a puck that they could pass around.
    My dad had two or three of those old sports games.
    Thanks for the video

    I only remember the Handheld Football Game from Lionel’s Playworld.
    I remember Coleco because of Coleco Vision & the Handheld Arcade Games!!!!

    I think I saw the electronic football game at Walmart a few years ago, it was like one of those throwback toys or something. It still looked just as confusing to play.

    i had the head-to-head football @0:57 and my sister had the baseball @0:45
    we got them for Christmas one year and there's a photo of us playing them on the couch with my dad
    years earlier, i also had the football guy that kicked the ball through the goal post when you pounded on his helmet @2:57

    4:09 Junkman sees the word “toboggans” and quickly abandons any attempt to pronounce it. Then pivots to the alternative word “sleds”

    Gen z here. 2003. My dad had the football game when he was younger. He took the buttons off and swapped them. He gave it to me since I collect video games. It doesn’t work but I keep it on my “Personal Favorites” shelf

    We had pong before Atari 2600. I had the football handheld one but I thought it was boring. I’d rather play outside or use that crappy electronic vibration football which also sucked 😂 air hockey still rules! 🍻

    I had the single-player football one, and they made another electronic game called Alien Attack in 1981 that I played for the longest time. One of my cousins had the Baseball game. Another cousin had the Colecovision. There are times I wonder if the video game crash of 83 hadn't happened, if Coleco would still be pumping this stuff out.

    I had the single player Soccer game and the Professor calculator. I had an air hockey game and always wanted Rod Hockey. Never got it but picked one up for my boys at a garage sale.

    As a kid i would use them at night under the covers thinking no one would know...lol well they are loud but i love them. They took me to far off places and games in my head. Still have one today.

    I had the electronic baseball. It was actually very fun. All the extra buttons are for a second player to play defense, same on both right and left. I usually played one player. I also had Quiz Whiz. I fell in love with it at a friend's house, then got it for Chriistmas, and quickly learned it was lame. I think I still have it since every garage sale we had since then it got passed over.

    bumper pool was great for kids. Cuz thensmall table would work well. Whereas the mini pool tables sucked arse. I still play bumper pool when i see them sometimes

    I have played almost all of the hand held games. They were very popular at the swim meets i was at in the lte 70's early 80's. Battery purchases were at an all time high during that time

    I just saw a Hookey board game in the catalog. My uncle had it as a kid and I never knew where it came from. I also still have the Head to Head football stored away in working condition. It was a fun game.

    These were an issue at school. 😂 The first handheld I remember was Mattel Electronics’ Racing. Simplest game ever, but it was the first. Kids would get in fights over who got the next turn. (Kids those days, huh?)

    Cool cool and cool again ! i lived at the time when these games came out we did not understand many of em but still liked them back then they were very cool starting with simple Game &watch games.

  • @shanester1832
    @shanester1832 2 месяца назад +1

    It'd be a lot cooler if it was based on the Zodiac Killer.
    I never liked things along this line or the handheld lcd screen games. They might be cool if it was 1920 and it was mind blowing but I'd rather play with anything else.

    Had the baseball, football and hockey - played the heck out of them all with my brothers. They are not hard to learn - if you can use a modern console controller, you can learn those.

    Every generation is the same, they look back and think things from the past were 'simple' or 'whack'. It will be the same 30 years from now when young people look back on i9-RTX 4090 computers, or the newest iPhone, or the newest Playstation, and the new games you play on it now. To them it will all be old outdated ancient 'whack' technology. Its the way of the world. All these Coleco games back then were state of the art and everyone loved them. And people will look back on games like RDR 2 and say, "The graphics were good for its time but the look so dated now, like watching a cartoon."

    My cousins had the Football & Baseball games.
    3:11 I had that Hockey game on the middle, left page, Buffalo Sabers & Philadelphia Fliers were the teams that came with the game.
    Never set up the score board / light assembly.
    I remember seeing a Head-to-Head Football & Zap games somewhere
