Info: The Battlestar Galactica Cyclon, made in Hong Kong, is one of the items I've searched for the most. It uses a TI chip and works like the beautiful MATH MAGIC. It asks you one of ten thousand pre-programmed math questions, using one of four operations, and you have to type the correct answer. If the answer is correct, (the display flashes), or if it's incorrect, (EEE).

Entex Space InvaderModel: Entex Space Invader
Battery: 6 x AA 

AC adapter:
Year: 1980

Chip: TMS1100 / MP1211 / COPL44 Display : LED

Info: Entex handheld Space Invader game, their version of the popular arcade game. The black version is copyright 1980 (and was designed/programmed by Entex Tokyo), the grey one is copyright 1981 (and was re-designed and re-programmed by Rick Dyer & AMS, thus it has some differences in appearence and gameplay) (note also that the gray one was made from a slightly different mold). Interesting note: the second wasn't supposed to be gray, someone accidently trans-posed 2 numbers on the paperwork where the Pantone color code was listed (it was supposed to be the same black color). Over 800,000 Space Invaders were produced, which is impressive considering a company was happy to have a production of 100,000.
