Title: NOT Your Classic Lite Brite
Product review: I LOVED Lite Brite as a kid and played it for hours well into my teen years creating new designs and using the templates. So when I saw this for my kids (ages 4 & 7), I was very excited.First the screen is about half the size as the original, the pegs are much chunkier and the pictures are simple. It seems to be a 'kiddie' version of the original. My kids took turns playing it and they spent about 10 minutes each before they got bored and never returned. They love crafts, puzzles, spin art & spirographs, so I thought this would be a hit. When they applied pressure to put the pegs in, it fell over. The button was difficult to push and the light was dim and did not stay on during play (only a few short minutes). The drawer was too hard to open and I had to use so much force, I thought I was going to break it - it did not break, but the pegs went flying.Anyway, If I find an original at a yard sale, I may buy it, but would not spend any amount of money on this cheap rip-off.
