Before we had the Game Boy and other handheld video game systems, toymaker TOMY released a line of electro-mechanical handhelds that emulated the video game experience, fully mechanically. The 1978 racing game Digital Derby was Adam's personal favorite, and he finally finds a working model to investigate how this game actually works. With the help of Lumafield CT scans, we can now see the brilliant engineering behind these handhelds.
This video is part of a sponsored series with Lumafield. Learn more about these scans at: https://www.lumafield.com/article/inside-tomy-handheld-games
