          Although this is amazing, I'm just hope this was already broken before they used the case. These things were boss when I was a kid. I also had some kind of 3d goggle tank game thing. Think it was a Tomy one.

          Gotta go and Google that now!

              @markyh444 Nice find.

              Not sure what kind of entertainment you could get with that though using a Pi.

              Perhaps movies?

              It doesn't seem like it would fit very well into retro gaming.

              Thanks for the share.

              Very interesting. :)

                @Addison I know putting a Pi in that would be futile, but I can dream dammit! 😁
