Help with unknown handheld

[vilesilencer]

Hi all,

I've been trying to find out some information about a handheld game I have in my posession, and haven't had any luck so far. Instead of describing it I have a small pic of it here (http://vilesilencer.com/latest_shit/santa1.jpg)

If anyone knows what this item is called, where its from, or any information about it at all can you let me know please.

cheers,
Dan

from the looks of it i'd guess its a varient of this

THE COLECO LIL GENIUS
perhaps some short production run christmas version?
if theres any writing on the game to indicate where, when or by who it was made that would be helpful. also if it works describe what it does.[/i]

Yes it works.

There is no writing on it anywhere, including inside the battery compartment (im not gonna pull the thing to bits if its worth something). Yes it might be a variant of that, it does have a CHK button. Basically its a calculator type game for kids. you type in an equation then press the CHK button and if its correct santas green eye lights up and if its incorrect his red eye lights up. It has other functions as well, but I'm too old to understand how it works hahaha.

cheers,
Dan

Hey Dan... The picture of the Lil Genius -- that's the one I thought you were talking about; dunno if it's a variant or not though.
