While the electronic version of the game Battleship brings the game to life with sounds and lights, the original classic version of Battleship is just as much fun to play without all the bells and whistles. It would be ultimately up to the child's personality as to what version would suit their tastes better.
The cost of an electronic Battleship game differs on the seller on Amazon. For example, one seller sells the game for $25.99 and another seller sells the game for $165.99.
you can find one at walmart.

There were five ships... -Carrier -Destroyer -Battleship -Submarine -Support ship
Battleship still exists in its classic form and is easy to acquire a set at many toy outlets. There are talking versions of the game available but the official one built by Hasbro is no longer manufactured and is a collectable item. Electronic Battleship Advanced Mission is a modern and high-tech version of the game but it is considerably more expensive. I would warn against the Battleship released for the major games consoles as it is not the traditional game but a tie in to the film of the same name. There are however digital versions available for iOS and Android phones and tablets that are similar derivatives of the traditional battleship.

The game is called BATTLESHIP. It is still sold in stores. There is a famous advertising line for that game which is used in slang. "Hey, you sunk my battleship!"
