As a collector of board games, I wanted to ask folks if Electronic Detective is any good, also is Maniac as fun as it looks? Please let me know in the comments.

the football game is the only I had

[cjefferys]

I didn't have any of those. The only electronic handhelds I remember owing are Blip, Hit and Missile, Digital Derby, Simon, and Alien Attack (that last one was made by Coleco and was actually pretty great for the time).

[Bruce Banner]

Played a few of those Mattel Electronics sports games.
But only ever owned Merlin out of those pictured. Merlin was awesome.

[Werewolf]

I had Merlin. It was a lot of fun.

[J.B.]

Loves me some Football II.

[TrekStar]

The only one I had was Football, I also had Baseball too but I don’t see it.

[Z-man 307]

Mattel also had some good non-sports games too. My first one was Battlestar Galactica (still have it) and Sub-Chase.

[powersthatbe]

I had the green football game. loved it. especially on car trips and on out of town visits.

My brother and I had the white version of football, basketball, the 2-person baseball, and later on galaxian. I wish I still had those. My wife got me a small version of the football game for a stocking stuffer last year. The lights are so dim you can't see the guys.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I had the Mattel Battlestar Galactica, baseball and the Coleco Football. Had Blip, too.

[Megotastrophe]

i was never impressed by the LED moving blip games. Also I was terrible at them so they were probably equally unimpressed by me.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I don't recall my parents ever buying any of these for me or my brothers. some friends had the football one but really, they were kind of boring

[shaunaconda]

I still have the Mattel Basketball 1&2. Also have one of these... http://electronicbaseball.blogspot.c...seball-ii.html

Took pics but don’t know how to post them. I guess I need a hosting site?
