From a past theme of “Cheap Gadgets From Thift Stores”, Chad shows us something he bought, but never used on the show. It’s the Sharper Image Virtual Space Ping Pong Game. The box it comes in looks interested and set features “Infrared Technology”. Wow, think of that! Inside the box is Light Beam Ball Projector, and two IR Emitter Rackets. You can the game for 1 or 2 players. And finally, there’s Integrated Sound Effects. As you’ll see on this week’s show, none of that seems to make a fun game. Chad said the projected ball is too dim to hit easily, and you might have better luck in a really dark room. Luckily Chad only paid $15 for his at Goodwill Store. And his had batteries in it. Otherwise, you need 7 AA batteries in order to get everything set up. The one he found a Goodwill isn’t a Sharper Image, but they do have a newer set that looks like it plays in a similar way, but was more like $56.00 on 4/11/25. The earlier Virtual Pong by Sharper Image set has a lot of sellers over at eBay most asking for about $25.00.
