Entex's Select-A-Game is a handheld console that was released in 1981. Only six games were officially released before it was discontinued.


Overview

Select-A-Game was developed by Entex (Company), an electronics company based in Compton, California (Location). The console features a 16 x 7 screen that could produce red or blue lights through a vacuum florescent display. The console itself has no processor. Instead, each game cartridge comes equipped with its own processor.

Games

Eight games were developed for the Select-A-Game, but only six were officially released. Pacman 2 (Game) became controversial, and rare as a result, because Coleco (Company) sued Entex over its release. At the time, Coleco held exclusive publishing rights to any handheld versions of Pac-Man. The game was pulled from shelves and is now considered a collector's item.
