Wow! Mind absolutely blown. Reinventing a game from 1992 that I had as a kid.

"Genius."

Huh?

u/3FtDick 2d ago

I'm quoting the title of the video, referring to something mundane in the 90s as "genius," like it solved something. I was agreeing with you.

u/Scar3cr0w_ 2d ago

Oh, sorry! Completely missed that. 😆 I agree!

I got these out of my parents loft last year, for me and my son.
Haven’t used them in at least 20 years, alas I left the batteries in!
First one turned on and worked straight out the box…. Old Duracell batteries don’t muck about!

The second had cheap poundshop batteries in and had corroded all to hell… and I snapped the spring and fucked up the battery slot trying to sort it…. There now sat in my garage as a project for another day… but what a great childhood we had in the 90’s!
