I didn't actually have this one but a friend of mine did and we played it a lot. The box is a bit tatty and the plastic board is very brittle and needed a bit of super glue to fix.
The electronic part of the board game is that when you go to battle each player places their piece on the switches on the side. The combination of plastic lugs pushing the different switches works to make a battle sound before showing who the winner is. It's pretty simple and I think it's a simple binary comparison between each side.
As per my other posts on these handheld / electronic board games here is the manual:
