The Mego 2-XL is an 8-Track playing quiz game that looks like a robot. I found 12 tapes for this thing yesterday. I had no idea what it was till I hit the above link a few minutes ago. At 30 cents each it was worth the grab. Looks kinda cool.

You know, that thing looks familiar as hell. I probably did have it at one point. Pretty cool.

I saw the cassette tape version of the 2-XL that Tiger did a few years ago. probably should have bought it but it didn't look as cool as the original.

I went to a flea market at a local race track and actually found a Mego 2-XL. I got it for $5 bucks and it came with 6 games.
this thing is pretty darn cool. It's basically a multiple choice trivia/educational game. the robot's eyes flash in time with his voice. his voice is pretty amusing. when it's waiting for you to make a selection it has some funny robot beeps and boops. the four buttons across the front are for making your answer selections. it also makes jokes and compliments/insults you based on your answers.
I tried the Sports II tape(not pictured, that was from the tape find had a month ago) and it even had options for more info on certain topics it covered. It had actual audio of Babe Ruth speaking.
For something that came out in 1978 I was impressed with this thing. I was also amazed at the condition and excellent working order for a 27 year old toy.
damn cool!

picked this one up last night for $3. the tapes were $1.90 each. the robot is not as interesting looking to me as the original but it still has the same cool voice and flashing eyes.
