Sweet! :D I'm asking because I have one of these things and I know nothing about it. I was just curious if anyone on Tumblr knows much about it or remembers playing it (since the tag looked pretty empty).

It's the Galaxian 2 (1981)!

Haven't played it myself yet (need batteries) but it genuinely looks so cool. Love the design of the case, too. It's pretty big, definitely wouldn't fit in modern pockets!

whoa, never seen this one before. I've seen a few other VFD based handhelds of yore, never played any of them myself, they're before my time.

@oldguydoesstuff has a few similar types of games if memory serves

Ultraman Monster Battle is a handheld electronic game released by Bandai in 1983, part of their series of innovative 'push-up' games. These devices featured a unique design where the screen could be pushed up to reveal the controls, making them compact and portable. The game uses a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and requires four AA batteries for operation.

In this game, players control Ultraman, the iconic Japanese superhero, as he battles various monsters to protect Earth. Staying true to the Ultraman franchise, the objective is to defeat these monsters in sequential battles, reflecting the action-packed theme of the original series. Gameplay involves maneuvering Ultraman to avoid attacks while delivering strikes to defeat the enemies.

The game’s design and mechanics were considered innovative at the time, offering a bright and colorful VFD display that stood out compared to other handheld games of the era. It became a sought-after item among fans of Ultraman and handheld gaming enthusiasts.

Ultraman Monster Battle is remembered as a classic example of early 1980s handheld gaming, showcasing Bandai's creativity in combining popular cultural icons with engaging gameplay mechanics. Personally, while it tends to become repetitive after some time, I still appreciate it for its originality.

The stages are distinct in concept, with interesting and varied mechanics compared to usual handheld games. I believe that with a couple more levels, we’d be talking about a little gem—if not even a classic handheld release.

Swamp Thing wasn't the only one they released but it was the best and I will not allow any arguments to that fact, Sculls.
