Rare early 1980s Russian handheld game. Very similar in style to the Nintendo Game & Watch Chef, gameplay and graphics are identical. Made by Angstrem, Russia's biggest electronics firm in the 1980s, and made to exploit the ban on Nintendo's Game & Watch products during the cold war.

 

In Excellent, fully tested condition. Works well with clear display and responsive buttons, close to 10/10 overall. Includes battery cover & manual. Also includes an outer box which may be the incorrect one, but is in Excellent condition, 10/10.

 

LCD Electronic games became popular between 1980 and 1987. They use liquid crystal to display black graphics against a grey background, although many variations of this kind of display exist in both handheld and tabletop form, including clear screens, colour displays and multi-screen games. Nintendo may have set the benchmark with their legendary Game & Watch games, but there are 100s of other fantastic LCD games from the era just waiting to be discovered. Today LCD games are highly prized, with some rare handheld games fetching considerable sums.
