Bandai Machine Man (1984, VFD, 4 AA Batteries, Model# 0200109)
Cool (and extremely rare) handheld game that uses a VFD display instead of LCD, I'm guessing this game is called 'Lightening Strike,' the blue Japanese characters translate to 'Lightening converging' literally, so that's the closest I could come up with. It's just a tad smaller than Mattel's Football game (to give you a size reference). It has a great multi-color display that features two different scenes. The 1st has you driving a vehicle along a road while trying to avoid having missiles dropped on your car. The second scene has you out of your vehicle in a city, trying to defeat bad guys that are trying to shoot you. Each stage just seemed to be timed, if you survive long enough, you win, and then it starts over, a little faster. Based on the Machine Man TV series in Japan.
