The film opens with the Guardians waiting around for the Abilisk to appear through its wormhole to steal some of the Sovereign's Anulax batteries (named after a brand of medical anal probe, for some reason), as Star-Lord tracks its location using his delightfully kitsch calculator-looking device.

It should be familiar to 80s kids, as it's a Mattel Electronics Classic Football game. It appears he might have retooled it up into its new usage. It's a nice tie to Marvel's tie-in toy maker too.
