The Thumb Stadium Electronic Game Kit is sort of reminiscent of the Meggy Jr. — a small, kit-built handheld game device with an LED display — but this one is even more simplistic than the Meggy’s 8x8 screen. In fact, it only has three LED lights as a display, and somehow includes four different games.

From ThinkGeek’s description:

Game 1 - ThumbWar™
The object of ThumbWar is simple: press while the other player is pressing. If you do, you get a point.

Game 2 - SlapJack™
During SlapJack, Thumb Stadium randomly flashes the center LED red or green. Be the first to press when center is green and get a point. Don’t press if it isn’t green or the other player gets a point.

Game 3 - Jai Alai™
Center lights up ~ quickly press to “catch” your color. Press again to “throw” to the other player who has to catch on time and throw back. The time to catch gets shorter each throw.

Game 4 - Reflexy™
Reflexy is a one-player game. The object is to quickly press the button that matches the color in the center LED. You go until you miss or are too late. The time to react gets shorter each turn. After the game, your score is flashed ~ Center = x10, Red LED = x1. Press the Red Side Button three times to restart.

The Thumb Stadium sells for $19.99, and you have to know how to solder and do other electronics junk in order to assemble it.
