In this listing you’ll find a true piece of portable retro gaming history: the legendary Mattel Electronics Soccer, marketed starting in 1978. This lot represents a rare original Italian market-specific variant, as proven by the back label entirely in Italian ("Soccer Calcio Istruzione"), a detail of great collectible importance and much harder to find on the current market compared to the classic international editions in English.

The battery compartment is clean and the internal contacts are in excellent condition, free of corrosion. The rear hatch is present and is the original one from the era. Object Condition: - Aesthetics: Vintage good condition. The shell has no cracks. The green field graphics lines on the display are slightly faded due to age (as visible in the photo), a detail that gives the item authentic vintage charm without compromising usability. - Operation: The game has been tested and is fully functional. The red LED display lights up brightly and correctly, showing gameplay and the digital score. All buttons respond promptly to commands.
