The game worked without any problems after I put in the batteries! The tab on the battery compartment cover was broken, and I've been using it with cellophane tape since I bought it. The cover closes without any issues. The LCD has some age-related degradation, but the game can still be played. I'm also including Tetris Plus as a set. *This is being sold as a junk item. *No claims or returns accepted. *Price reductions are not possible.
