Vintage Electronic Battleship game that still works

I found this game in a closet and dusted it off to see if it worked. It does!

[@chaddavid9897]

The late 70s and all through the 80s was the ABSOLUTE BEST time to be alive. It'll never be that simple & fun again

[@hitardo]

I am just impressive to find that this game was available in late '70s... I would think it would only be available at the end of the '80s - or even early '90s. Thank you for sharing!

[@CrankstaWho]

This particular model in the video is the '83 one. I had it as a kid.

[@TheRedskins2175]

I just got mine today from a goodwill store COMPLETE WITH BOX, ORIGINAL PAPERWORK AND STILL WORKS!!! loved this game from when I was a kid. I'll never sell it...EVER!!

[@EnfieldNo4]

Loved it. Still have it somewhere. Very nostalgic to hear the sound effects. The whistling of the bomb still hurts my ears! Happy times.

[@jeffpaton9673]

Goodness,, I had that battleships game.. seeing it again here took me back. A pleasure.

[@jpolar394]

I just found mine in a box in the garage a few weeks ago and it still works. Inside the same box I also found another Milton Bradley game which I forgot about. Chain reaction . It's a magnetic game and it's challenging. Brings back great memories.

So nice to see somebody that has all of the pegs.looks like you took care of that game.

[@nat5156]

Thanks Denis the review of the old Battleship game is great. Appreciate your time in making this video its been a great help Regards England.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I also got regular “Battleship” from Amazon today, and this is the 2017 Hasbro Gaming edition, and it’s basically the same game, and it’s still the classic “Battleship” we know and love. The red and white pegs are smaller than the original pegs, and these newer pegs fits well with this and the newer game, and the enemy ship pieces are the same, but they added two fighter planes to the game if one of the ships allowed, it will have one of the fighter planes as a replacement. These fighter planes also works with this game.

Still have my copy of Electronic Talking Battleship (1995) since I was a kid

[@Musicradio77Network]

Mine is the 1979 “Electronic Battleship” without the talking, because the voice synthesis feature wasn’t introduced until 1989.

[@carlinio9]

Oh wow fantastic memories.Such a great video too. Brilliant 👍

The Electric one I used had a book. The book have every position one could think of. Each "map" had a code. All you had to do was load the code of the ship config you wanted. It definately cut down on the time.

[@charlesmullins3238]

What I’d give to still have mine…mom got it for us around 86-87 I guess. Born in 80

[@johnsonbrougham255]

I had 1 thank you for sharing great memories

[@Mark-rd1it]

I had that one. It’s better than the modern one.

[@ajjy1110]

77 didn't have red plastic screen

[@KLartrandM]

Thanx for the video. I had this as a kid, i was too young to understand it. I just remember it being a slow game.

[@josiahliptack2004]

I got one for my birthday on July 11 (I was born July 11, 2004), but it doesn't come until at least July 22, 2021!

2:42 no matter, what a video is about - as soon as a cat enters the scene, it draws all attention of the viewer...

[@BadgerMcblasty]

I loved this game as a kid, I still kinda do, not as fortunate as this bloke, the batteries leaked and destroyed the electrical system.🥺

[@Musicradio77Network]

I just ordered this game from Mercari earlier today, not eBay, and this is the game that I have not been played since I was a kid. A much advanced than the regular “Battleship”. By 1989, Hasbro’s Milton Bradley updated the game with an automated voice feature and called it “Electronic Talking Battleship”, and it has more features than this previous one. This one is from 1977 by Hasbro.

[@stratmaster5]

I still have mine with all original pieces and it still works!

[@Joedaniels007]

Wow. This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I landed on this video because I'm looking for a Battleship version of the early 2000s that squirts water when you hit your target.

Mine was so full of dust and grime I took it completely apart, washed and reassembled. Still works, remember it was popular with friends as I received for Christmas. 😊 Also have the Fireball pinball and Galicia handhelds

[@AlainHubert]

Oh my god! I've just discovered what the sound man used for some of the sound effects of the machine used by Deckard in the movie Blade Runner when he analyses the photographs of the replicants! It was this game when it's turned on!

[@myownprivateglasgow280]

Quality! Tx for showing. Any Buckaroo?

I'm playing it today! Lol Happy Easter!

There was a booklet that told you what codes for each grid

[@JennySussex]

Hi I remember playing this game with my brother in the 70's! We loved it. I've just managed to get one the same from eBay....but the constant beep seems a lot louder than it did when I was a kid. I'm wondering if I can maybe muffle the sound a little by placing something over the little speaker underneath?

[@mrinout5512]

I remember splitting my sisters head open with a broom handle in the 70s

[@JohnHenderson-ue7tj]

I use to have this battleship game.

[@Musicradio77Network]

For those of you have the newer version of “Battleship” which is the Hasbro Gaming edition, it should work with this game if you have the missing pieces.

[@RossBrown1]

I had that Pac-Man game, remember saving up my money for it

[@cmzotti1]

I just found mine, without directions, and appreciate seeing the directions. Hope mine works.

I think i played a russian version back in the day :D

[@grimreaperscreed5938]

The game worked by a code book for the ships..

[@Musicradio77Network]

You can also use with different codes from the 2012 Hasbro Gaming edition and it does the rest. You can add fighter jet, spy plane, tank, and attack plane from the 2012 edition and it does fit well with this 1979 edition. The 2012 edition is missing the J and 10 in the battlefield grid, but this one has J and 10 on the battlefield board.

It’s just a sonar sound where you turned on the game, you’ll hear the sonar sound and it never stops.

@@davidravitch I don't think so. I think we usually decided between ourselves.

[@Musicradio77Network]

To put all of the ships for each player, you have to switch to “Load” mode and input your letters and numbers where the ship is located and hit the Fire button to enter. You can do the same, and after it’s done, the “Whoop” sound was heard which means it’s all set and ready to go. Do the same with the second player, and after all has said and done, it’s ready to play. Switch to “Go” mode, and it’s ready to play. You can call the shots by pressing the buttons and hit the Fire button where it tells the other player a hit or a miss. After you defeat all of the enemy ships, you’ll hear the “whoop” sound three times where any of the player is the winner.

[@koosvanleeuwen6340]

Kan ook tegen computer spelen alleen👍

[@Musicradio77Network]

This has to be the original 1977 version of “Electronic Battleship”. The 1982 version is far better than this.

[@Musicradio77Network]

If I changed my mind, I got the 1979 version than the 1982 version and it still works, I hit every button I used including the letters, the numbers and the fire buttons, everything works. I dig this 1979 edition a lot better than the 1982 edition. It uses 2 9V batteries, and the later ones have 4 AA batteries.

[@DannyPoet]

soo much fun with this thing

[@chadfolzenlogel8739]

Still have mine, gotta dig it out and see if it works.
