I don't see this in the museum:

That's a great looking game Dan. Are you going to bid for it?

Neil.

Hi Neil, no, I wasn't planning to, it didn't grab me. I have an irrational aversion to French, I guess! Laughing

I am mildly curious how it works, though...

Hi Dan,

Basically it says that you have to move the 2 cursors from position 1-2 to position 20-21 by moving them 1 to 3 cases and if the led gets on you can't stay there, backup and chose another one. Gotta get at the end in the less possible shots... looks a bit boring if you ask me. Cool

Ah, thanks for the translation. I'd wager that the only thing electronic inside that case is the LED; the logic is probably just that the cursor levers act as slide switches and certain combinations turn the LED on.

At least the LED is a semiconductor! (I don't really count old games like Cragstan Periscope or Waco TicTacToe as electronic, as they are simply electrical. If those counted, then so should the old light bulb and stylus quiz games from the early 20th century! But then the Nintendo Love Tester I just pointed out on eBay, with just a battery and a meter, doesn't count either! Rolling Eyes

And Rik even points out in the museum that it isn't really a game! )
