For anyone looking for the original Henry hand held game by Tiger Electronics, after a google search looking for the seller I bought mine from on Etsy to thank them, I noticed that eBay had four listings, how recent they are and what the condition of the games are I don't know though one listing claimed that the one they had is working. Also, the seller I bought mine from on Etsy apparently had more than one because now her listing says only one left, I can tell you from experience that you can trust her, if she says it is working, it is.
At least mine is, I play it frequently hoping that it will improve my memory which is terrible in the short term area. I can think of something I want to look up, hit the browser key on my keyboard, and by the time the browser loads, only seconds, I've completely forgotten what I wanted to look up. Gene...
