Has anyone seen these games? They are a litttle box that looks like an arcade game on top of a pen. The ones I have seen include Millipede, Combat, Asteroids, and a Tetris clone. I think there may be1 or 2 more. They had them at my local Kohl's for 70% off. Normally they are $8.99, so they are marked down to $2.70. I will probably grab some today. Anyone actually tried these, and if so, are they any good? Thanks.

How the hell does one play a game with that?

Nope, that's not it. I'll see if I can find a picture on line somewhere.

Yeah, the Flytop is a whole different thing -- no screen at all, whereas what Jimmy is talking about has an LCD screen on it.

I haven't played them, but I can't imagine they're great. On the other hand, they're $3 each. If they strike your fancy and you have the money, buy one or two.
