Scrabble Express Handheld

Great Grandma Gloria LOVES this little obsolete scrabble game. Its sad they don’t make it anymore, but what are you gonna do? I guess get Great-grandma an app that does the same thing in 10,000 colors and pixels?NOPE. Gotta get you one of these on the internet or at a garage sale or Mee-ma wont be happy, and we dont want that, do we?!—BTW Amazon, yes, this game console is a great “thickness”, and is super easy to “read”, whatever that means.—Brent.

I purchased a new item for $90. The item arrived in its original packaging so it is technically “now” however the packaging is damaged and tinted yellow. The item looks like something purchased at a yard sale for $2 not a $90 new item. Very unsatisfied.

This was purchased as a gift for my mom who loves to play Scrabble and wants to keep her brain sharp. Pluses for the game are it is well constructed, the screen displays well and is easy to see and it allows for either single player or two player modes.Cons for the game for me were the price. The love of a parent is what made me purchase this otherwise I would have passed at a price point of $93 the seller may want to keep in mind that most buyers have mobile phones with access to apps that are less expensive.One minor con and this was just a personal one was that the device when received did not work. A 30 minute drive to my mom's house and a quick swap of the installed batteries and it was up and running. Never a good experience when a customer or the person being gifted has a non working device. Perhaps consider a quick test of the device before it leaves the warehouse.

I'm very happy with this, it came quickly and looks brand new. No manual or box but that's fine with me.

Exactly what I was hoping for. This is fun to play when others won't play. You can also play this in a 2 player mode and go head to head against a live opponent. The AI is good and you can select how hard you want the game to be. I find it challenging and fun. I only wish there were a way to update the dictionary.

Did not work

I just took this thing on a beach vacation and had a great time with it. I would recomment it to anyone who is a fan of scrabble. I'm such a nut I was actually considering buying an iPaq just to play scrabble.There are a couple of downsides1. There are multiple games, but I think there is only one worth playing.2. The computer can be really slow.3. The letters aren't really random4. Some of the words the computer uses don't show up in my scrabble dictionary.All said, just buy it. It's fun to play while you tan.

Unfortunately, its an old program which runs slow. We are to used to today's computers.
