Another in a long line of handheld or desktop games is the pocket basketball game. This is a small basketball game that folds up into a handy little rectangular box and fits into your pocket so you can take it anywhere. I don’t really trust it in my pants pocket though. I feel like if I sit the wrong way it will crack the plastic. Would fit nicely in a jacket pocket.
Good luck playing it on anything that’s not stationary. It’s not meant for play while traveling in a car or walking down the street unlike the 2D flip puzzle. The 2D flip puzzle can take a few bumps here and there but not the pocket basketball game. It’s hard enough to play when it is not shifting around.
They sure do fit a lot into that small case. It flips up into a mini version of one of those basketball nets you see at Chuck E Cheese. You get three balls and the flipper is used to get the baskets.
Here is a video of me trying it out.
If you are having trouble getting them in, you can adjust the position of the flipper from a closer spot to farther out. I found I actually had an easier time getting them in when the flipper was further out.
