Mattel’s Masters of the Universe/Dungeons & Dragons Handheld LCD Games Reviewed in 1983
I first mentioned these two classic games earlier this year (posted here), and now it’s time to again fight the temptation to grab at least one of these games on eBay. What’s causing this incredible and overwhelming urge this time? Well, if you look in the July 1983 issue of Blip magazine (at archives.org) you will find the review that sparked another interest in these games.
I doubt either game is fantastic, but the review does an excellent job of making me kinda want at least one of them. I must resist!
“Unlike the typical hand-held game, most of the action in Mattel’s adventure series goes on in your brain. This is good, because it means that you can get many more hours of fun from the Mattel games than from any old hand-held.”
Curse you, enticing review!
