After confirming the battery compartment was clean, I decided to take a chance at Dragon Strike by Milton Bradley. Other times it is a mystery why they don’t work, and I am no electronics engineer.īut for this week’s Thrift Treasure, I couldn’t pass on the theme. Sometimes the batteries have corroded, making the contacts unusable. Adding electronics to the mix just adds another thing that can go wrong and usually we are unable to test them in the store before purchase.
When we find a battery-operated game at thrift stores, we typically take a pass on them.
