101 
I inherited one of these 70s handheld games from a box of junk when I was five. It was a Harlem Globetrotters-branded basketball game. It was downright incomprehensible. This Pulsonic baseball game looks no different.
As a kid, I was immediately drawn to that damned Globetrotters game because it had buttons and made noise and was shaped like a basketball. I was intrigued by it, blinded to the fact that it was just a strange sucession of blinking red dots with a static plastic overlay on top of it. I never really figured out how to play it. I don't think I ever picked it up for longer than five minutes. I doubt I could figure out how to use it now. I just knew that that sometimes I would push the right button and it would make a different noise than usual. Everything about this Pulsonic baseball game, from the size, to the look, to the screen, is causing some serious flashbacks. I'm just thankful I also had NES to run back to. [Etsy]

When Bell Laboratories wrapped up work on the transistor in 1948, they let 25 employees vote on the name. And for some reason, those stodgy bastards passed up options such as the crystal triode and the iotatron. Sad face.
