8-Bit Show And Tell | Mechanical Handheld Zero-Bit Games from the 1970s @8_Bit | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Take a look at my collection of handheld games from the 1970s that are mechanical, rather than electronic, even though some are deliberately modelled after video games. Since they don't use microprocessors, they could be considered Zero-Bit games.

I made a sort-of sequel to this video "4-Bit Handheld Games: Tron, Scramble, Lupin, and Caveman by Tomy": youtu.be/eKpjXh-vH8I
