Hey dudes, looking for 2 handheld games from the 1970's/ Early 80's. First, I am looking for an Entex Black Knight Handheld Pinball. My grandmother passed this year and it started to make me think of some of the gifts she had given me over the years. One of them was an Entex Black Night Electronic pinball. I remember bringing it with to my first ever Cub Scout/ Boy Scout 3 day excursion and being the popular kid on the bus because of it. I am pretty sure that the original one she bought for me has been destroyed/ and/or thrown out. It had been kept at their place for years, but my Grandfather was not one to keep kids' toys laying around after the kids had grown. It was the only real gift from my Grandma that was gaming/arcade related, and I'd like to find one to display in my new gameroom in her honor.

The other one I am looking for is a Mattel Ski Slalom. This was mine and my brother's favorite handheld game. He and I used to compete for fastest time, always chasing the elusive 26 second run.

Thanks in advance.
 
Funny, I kinda did the same thing. At one point I had collected most of the handhelds either grandma or mom and dad got me. I still have the Mattel Soccer, Head to head football, Digital Derby, and a couple others. Mattel basketball hasn't fared well over the years, so I may need another one. Can't find my Coleco Electronic Football or the Donkey Kong game and watch so I'll have to get those again. Then there is Simon, and some yellow baseball game I had that I may try to obtain, but those aren't as important.

If I see what you're looking for, I'll let you know.
 
I have a lot of handhelds, but those particular ones have eluded me. I'll keep my eyes open.

Ah the most holy grail of all handheld games ( http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Entex/BlackKnight.htm ).

You missed the sale on eBay last month that listed it for $1,800 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Entex-BLACK...ectronic-Arcade-Game-HOLY-GRAIL-/192049908563

It sold for $1,000 cold hard cash ( http://www.watchcount.com/?uqsrc=dess&uqkw=192049908563#serp ).

Minds well skip this and drop that $1,725 on a real 1980 Williams Black Knight :)

This site ( http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Mattel/SkiSlalom.htm ) claims that Ski Slalom was released OUTSIDE of USA only, making it uber rare, it was a 100% clone of 1976's Auto Race (USA).

There is a Mattel Ski Slalom being sold on eBay currently, for $800 obo - http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-SUPER...-SLALOM-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-L-K-/142232403894

I would skip on the Ski Slalom and just buy the same exact 100% game, Auto Race, it was cloned off of for $40, 4-5 of these being sold on eBay currently...:

1. $35 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mattel-Electronics-Auto-Race-Game-/222365368223
2. $40 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mattel-Electronics-Auto-Race-Hand-Held-Game-1976-Works-/132057875498
3. $50 obo - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mattel-Electronics-Auto-Race-Game-/122300657408
4. $110 obo (comes with box/manual) - http://www.ebay.com/itm/MATTEL-AUTO...RKING-WITH-BOX-AND-INSTRUCTIONS-/262792706978

Good luck on the search of these 2 most super very expensive rare handhelds!
