"" Retro excellence; a highly accurate emulation of an iconic 70s game.""
Blast yourself back to the 70s and 80s! When games were simple but still very addictive. An accurate recreation of the VFD LSI game by CGL, Gakken, Tandy and other companies of that time. Fun for all ages with three difficulty levels. All those retro sounds and that vacuum fluorescent display are here. This was a classic and very popular toy back then. Now it is a rare and collectible item but YOU can own it right now!
*Screenshots show the actual app in action and original artwork based on the original packaging. See how close to the real thing it is!
