1982 Coleco Head to Head Baseball Handheld Video Game

[@icspi1970]

The 300 display at the top is the batting average of the hitter currently at the plate. Had one of these as a kid. Many hours spent playing.

[@grifftrain]

I had this game and I kept a notebook of my starting players and wrote down their stats and everything. I would lay out my baseball cards as a “visual” for my starting line ups. PS... yes, I was a nerd

[@monkeyb1820]

durn, I thought we were the only ones that did that. We'd lay out baseball cards on the rug while playing intellivision baseball. It really brought it to life!

[@Anth230]

Haha. We had such imaginations back then...

[@chipchap2625]

Those sounds took me back to being 10 years old. We would go to KC Royals games and i would play this in the car on the way there.

[@refbump]

Core memory unlocked. I played this a lot while my dad would listen to Blue Jays games and drink Labatt's Blue. I miss you, Dad. 😔

[@johnmadison3472]

Thanks for the review. I had one of these back in the day. I just found one on eBay in good shape. Very nostalgic.

[@wyman36]

My grandfather had one and I used to play it a lot. I think it drove him nuts a few times.

[@souleternal7]

These games were advanced for their time. I had a lot of fun with these games. Before these games came to be, I used to sit on the rug of my living room with a small branch stick, and a roll of aluminum foil rolled into a small ball, a bit bigger than a "BB". And play baseball with myself after laying out a playing field (with lines), with a home run fence and all. I used to keep scores, batting averages, home runs for each playing and current standing with two conferences and two or four divisions in each conferences. This game did all that for me, AWESOME! Yeah the "300" means the batting average for the current playing, the higher the average the more likely you'd get a hit obviously so it changed the strategy of your game play, when to steal or not steal or use the "Power" button or not. Great game!

[@adamv242]

I loved this game as a kid... used to listen to Earnie Harwell call the Tigers in my earpiece when I was supposed to be sleeping!

[@CdnGamer]

Radio Shack had so many good handhelds back in the day. I think they had a larger variety that some of the larger department stores.

[@KNGELVIS]

Oh what memories!! Don’t mean to be “that guy”, but FO is Fly Out. Just sayin’! Thank you so much for posting this. The sounds are in my head forever.!!

[@cowetascore8476]

One of my favorites growing up.

[@richardarzillo1029]

Got this for Christmas in 80…while playing with my Star Wars characters in the blizzard in New York….. Greatest American hero aired I and dukes of hazard was a new show lol

[@craigfowler100]

Had this game as a kid. Always an Expos fan. Could not deal with the move to Washington however so I became a Red Sox fan at that point. Bring back the Expos!!!!

[@thomastedder654]

Back in 1980 I bought this game and enjoyed it until the video arcade games made me forget all about it.

[@tonichappell7596]

i got one in 1980 for my birthday...cool game!

[@richardarzillo1029]

Me too exact year lol

[@DowntownCanon]

This game came out in 1980.

[@underdog1117]

What a great game I loved this game when I was a kid still do

[@claude878878]

amazing man. great memories. and when you said you grew up listening to the expos on the radio, i almost cried. what are the odds?? i too am from Montreal and grew up a big expos fan and also used to hear them on the radio every game. i loved my expos. but how come you listened to Jacques Doucet and not Dave and Duke? you sound english, so this shocked me. My dad used to listen to Doucet, then i'd change it to Dave van Horne and duke snider and we'd listen together. Great memories of Nos Amours and the good old days. thanks for the vid. you brought me back to my happy time.

[@jcarreon1983jc]

I just found mine. Put a couple of 9Vs in and still works perfectly.

[@rrpostalagain]

I played the hell out of that game.

[@SniffyPoo]

nice, i used to have one. brings back some memories!

[@tradingcardsofawesomeness636]

I got today from ebay in USA a 1982 Coleco head to head baseball.

[@CdnGamer]

Did not know that, thanks for filling me in and watching.

[@CdnGamer]

@Zickcermacity I've never seen anything like that. Coleco had a second head to head baseball game also, maybe that was it. Thanks for watching anyway.

[@souljaboyteelemify]

You're a real pigeon for that curve ball

[@indyfan22k]

I had one of these. I would love to find one again. I'm sorry your Expos moved. I'm a Braves fan.

[@thetoycollectorofseville6428]

When you get a home run it plays Take Me Out To The Ball Game.

[@CdnGamer]

@TheGamedummy Who needs a fancy Gameboy when you have that red dot?

[@Zickcermacity]

@CdnGamer The mfg was "Pulsonic"! Just found out. They mfgd a brown console and then a "Pulsonic II" with the larger beige grandstand around the display field surface. Not as bought as coleco obviously, but my Dad probably had one of the sole surviving examples.

[@28_Spokes]

didnt think you could do it but by god you prove all the critics wrong... lol cool game

[@ElectroMecca]

_I remember_ this beautifui device... Wish I still had one :-)

[@notdreadyet33]

I played this constantly around 83

[@Painterboyfloyd]

wow , too many years ago but Coleco did make the majority of these games but there were some others on the market . Even Radio Shack had versions . I had a green and brown one , I think it was made by matel but like I said sooooo many years ago . lol

[@Zickcermacity]

If someone could help me - My Dad had a handheld baseball game the case was brown and two people could play(one selecting pitches from behind the door and the other batting. Or you could play the computer. Dang I forgot the manufacturer!

[@Medevah]

F O is fly out, not foul out.

[@wyman36]

I now have one of my own.

[@CdnGamer]

@goffmen I was starting to break a sweat there around the 5 minute mark of the video and was getting ready to call The Game Dummy over to pinch hit for me.

[@PerpetualArt]

I owned this game back in 82. The .300 was the batters average. Couldn't play 1 player? That's what was kinda lame about it.

[@sergecaron2798]

I had one to but how much this game was selling for back then?

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

Nice, i have one of those too. It's fun.

[@christopherbrown4599]

Here are the instructions: handheldmuseum.com/Manuals/Coleco-H2HBaseball.pdf

[@whataboutrob442]

I remember you could only have a .400 as your best batting average.

[@ChristopherHagee]

B.T.W., what town in Newfoundland/Labrador in Canada 🇨🇦 is CDNGamer h'shld's l'ctd in?

[@kikeperez7403]

got this babe today at $00.25 and it works in a dirty street market here in central america =)

[@2011Savere]

I had the head 2 head one.

[@souljaboyteelemify]

The 300 and 400 is what you paid for it in today's money. It is the person that is up, batting average

[@chuy0720]

that you say I played with my brother and always were fighting is what I'm looking you found it or someone knows please

[@lvpepe38]

Sweet

[@adamklein9320]

He keeps saying fouled out it's actually flyout.

[@Zickcermacity]

Pulsonic electronic baseball! Eureka I found it on google images!

[@Chippey12]

@CdnGamer Yay!! Go red dots!

[@xrd1Hal9000]

I had one!!!

[@SniffyPoo]

F 0 is 'fly out' not 'foul out'

[@IcarusPrisonerKobold]

FO = FLY out. FFO = Foul Fly Out (dly out in foul territory)

[@danielking1850]

F O is fly out, not foul out...

[@TRKizm]

"F.O." foul/fly out

[@dallase1]

It's Not a Video Game, t Doesn't use video, t uses LED lights and not a video screen or hook to a TV or video monitor.

[@Himafrodiet]

Rip bozo
