5:01 To remove stubborn screws like that one, Engineer has a great range of pliers (including needle nose for tight spots) with some teeth at 90° meant to grab the head

This was THE game back in `85 that every person in our school wanted to play. The guy who used to own it was a pretty kind person as he allowed to take it home for a day or two, then you'll have to pass it to the next one waiting in line, which, sometimes was last for a month of even more.

Since then it was my dream to own one. Thanks to ebay, i have three of them now, along with the other gems like Grandstand Scramble and Donkey Kong.

I still have mine…works 100%…my Dad took me out of class in 3rd grade to picked one out for my birthday…this was in Santiago, Chile 1986

Enjoyable video. I had an old 1983 Grandstand Pocket Scramble game that had a dim display. A new polarizing filter angled just right made it clearer, I think I bought a pack of 3 iPad filters quite cheaply over on eBay 👍👍

I never knew scifi and western themes could go together.

It could be the polarizing filter, that needs tending to, but great video and really love the accent

We came a long way since the haydays of these kind of games, no SD cards or Wifi connections, no 4way or analog joysticks...just one game hardwired in a case, but they were quite hot at their days...

My Western Bar game has a couple of missing pixels. I notice that the ribbon cable is off the LCD glass. Can this still be repaired?

I bought an LCD Game back in 2002 that was in very poor taste, it was a game with the Twin Towers being attacked by aircraft, it wasn't a Tomy which seemed to produce most of the handheld LCD Games at that time. I stupidly sold it at a Carboot Sale because it felt disrespectful playing it but really wish I had kept it now as I have yet to come scross another one so it would presumably be worth a lot at this point. I bought it retail in a shop, possibly Wilkinsons or the like so it had passed scrutiny for good taste rather unbelievably.
I can't begin to imagine the outrage today on Twitter and the like if a game was made of that London Tower Block Grenfell which burnt down and quite rightly. How times have changed.

I've got this game and my start button no longer works, I've tried cleaning the contacts but it still doesn't work.

I'm working on a vintage LCD handheld, at the moment and I've got it to work really well, but I just can't get any sound. I bought a couple of piezo buzzers, but they just don't do anything. Do you think you could tell me what might be wrong? All the other components have been tested and are working well.

I have a Western Bar. The lcd looks faded. Yours too. I need to get it replaced. Maybe you can do a tutorial replacing the western Bar polariser?

I am zero in electronic engineering.

hi, i have a problem with this Casio, on some spots the LCD is weak, but others is no issue. Any solution?

[DifficultyEasy]

What's your address? I need to send you a tool for that screw!
