Take a look at my collection of handheld games from the 1970s that are mechanical, rather than electronic, even though some are deliberately modelled after video games. Since they don't use microprocessors, they could be considered Zero-Bit games. I made a sort-of sequel to this video "4-Bit Handheld Games: Tron, Scramble, Lupin, and Caveman by Tomy": https://youtu.be/eKpjXh-vH8I Links: Electro Tic-Tac-Toe: https://www.retrothing.com/2007/08/first-electroni.html Blip video by Tech Tangents: https://youtu.be/BSvZbcwqlTw Digital Derby breakdown/repair by Randi Rain: https://youtu.be/Fh1eAJ1Dtag Become a patron: https://patreon.com/8BitShowAndTell One-time donation: https://paypal.me/8BitShowAndTell Ending music is "Praises Are Spent" from the unreleased album "Sole Behold" by Bedford Level Experiment: https://bedfordlevelexperiment.bandcamp.com/ Index: 0:00 Intro 0:29 Draw Poker (Waco, 1971) 3:12 21 "Black-Jack" (Waco, 1973) 8:50 Drive Yourself Crazy (Tomy, 1976) 14:08 Blip: The Digital Game (Tomy, 1977) 17:39 Digital Derby (Tomy, 1978) 23:41 Strolling Bowling (Tomy, 1979) 27:48 Thanks to my patrons
