This was my all time favorite game when I was a kid! We were so good at it and used to try to beat eachother at all the games. What great memories. Thanks for posting this it was great to see it again. I wish I still had mine, but we played it so much that it broke.

Got one for my 9th birthday, i think this thing made me addicted to gaming.
I used to play it for hours and hours with my brother breaking each others record at Autocross(still remember the sound when a record was broken).

Believe it or not, I just got this today for the e...

Believe it or not, I just got this today for the equivalent of 2 dollars. Well, not in perfect state, but fully functional. Yes, they definitely don't make anything the way they used to. I can't imagine my mobile phone working after 30 years! On another hand, I reckon the guys who built these wonderful toys hadn't imagined they would still work flawlessly after 30 years! You say nowadays kids would lough at it? My 7 years old son found it great! (not to mention myself)
Also, although the thing is really very intuitive, many thanks for the manual!
For another 2 dollars, I also got the Gakken Galactic Invader - same age, same astonishing build quality and durabilty, but much easier to play.
10 hours ago they were dirty and dusty. In the meantime, they got fully disassembled, cleaned, put back together and received fresh batteries. The play is on!

My brother and I both had one of these and we loved them! Sad to say I was going through some boxes about a year ago, found my Split Second and gave it to the Goodwill. I am now in a search for the vintage toy for my 2 year old son. Wish me luck!

Ha! This definitely reads like something written by an old codger!

I thought this would be a different, but interesting, toy tribute. I still have a few more of these types of games and I think they still work, so you can expect to see some more of these tributes in the future!

I learned two things from this review Nate: (1) your parents were richer than mine; and (2) you’re on the cusp of becoming a crotchety old man. “Kids today...”

All joking aside, this was a great review. I honestly don’t remember this thing at all. I have a special fondness for these types of games. Probably because I can’t remember lots of the ones I played at other kids’ houses. Those were always the most fun.

I spent all my time with Mattel’s Handheld Baseball and Ice Hockey, and then remember Tiger Electronics Baseball being the next one I owned.
