Pronunciation: [ɛntˈɛks] (IPA) 
The word "Entex" is spelled with three letters: E-N-T. The "e" is pronounced like the "e" in "bet," the "n" is pronounced like the "n" in "no," and the "t" is pronounced like the "t" in "top." The "ex" ending is made up of two sounds: "eh" (like the "e" in "pet") and "ks" (like the "x" in "box"). Together, these sounds create the pronunciation "en-tehks." This word is commonly used as a brand name for various products.
Entex refers to a brand name of a popular toy and video game company that was prevalent during the 1980s. The name primarily applies to a series of handheld electronic games, which were produced by Entex Electronics Inc. These games were generally based on popular arcade games, serving as portable counterparts that could be played anywhere.
Entex games often featured LCD (liquid crystal display) screens, which provided monochromatic visuals, and incorporated various button controls for gameplay. These handheld devices were powered by batteries, allowing for convenient entertainment on the go. The company produced a wide range of games, encompassing diverse genres such as sports, puzzles, and arcade classics.
The availability of Entex games made them highly sought after by children and adults alike, as they provided a means of enjoying video game experiences outside the traditional home console or arcade setting. However, with the advent of more advanced gaming technologies, such as the Game Boy by Nintendo, the popularity of Entex games gradually waned. As a result, the Entex brand eventually faded from the market, and the company itself closed in the early 1990s. Nevertheless, Entex remains synonymous with the era of handheld electronic gaming and nostalgic for those who grew up playing these iconic portable games.
