Classic Game Pens put the 'fun' in functional

Alrighty, maybe that headline wasn't one of our best. Hey, they can't all be winners. We like these pens because, for lack of a better word, they're fun. Not only will kids love them, but so will anyone who fondly remembers playing these classic games while growing up. While Etch-a-Sketch and Operation aren't as advanced as today's shoot-em-up games, we don't think pens that shoot bullets would be very popular (or extremely safe).

Classic Game Pens are fully functional versions of old-school games.

The games really do work

Etch-a-Sketch

Turn the two control knobs of The Etch-a-Sketch Game Pen to create a drawing. Shake it up-side down to erase and try again.

Everything you remember and love about the Etch-A-Sketch is alive and well in the pen-sized version.

Operation

The Operation Game Pen features removable pieces which are connected by nylon thread so they will never get lost. The tweezers are hidden in the screwtop of the pen. And yes, if you screw up, the patient's nose lights up and you receive a nasty "errrr" sound from the internal speaker. The battery required for gameplay is included. It's a small watch battery, so it doesn't add much weight to the pen.

The Operation Game Pen has removable pieces, a light-up nose, and tweezers hidden in the screwtop of the pen.

Boggle

You can do some serious Boggle-ing with the Boggle Pen. It features a removable top as well as a removable sand timer. And yes, the pen still works when you remove these pieces.

The Boggle Game Pen features removable pieces that while small are still playable.
