On this episode of #TigerBling, I take a look at something that literally spells out what it is... #CopycatJr! This handy little toy was produced in 1996 & is a spin-off of the earlier #Copycat #handheldhames from the 70's and 80's, in the fashion of #Simon by #miltonBradley/#hasbro and #TouchMe by #Atari.

On this episode of #XpressO, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #Motocross from 1983, by #German #gamepublisher #Quelle.

On this episode of #Xpresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600 #GameReviews, I play #Marauder by #Tigervision from 1982. (Yes, the very same #TigerElectronics we've come to love/hate!)

On this episode of #XPresso, 5-Minute #Atari2600#GameReviews, I play #Commando by #Activision in 1983, on the #Atari 2600.
