Game & Watch

[80sSmurf]

Remember "Game & Watch"? They were HUGE in Denmark! I had a bunch of 'em, but never "Donkey Kong", which was considered the best & coolest...Lucky me, a friend gave me one less than a month ago, and it's still a blast...Plus I'm cool now riding on trains and busses playing my own "Donkey Kong" <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

As I was "the best and the coolest" <img src="cool.gif" border="0"> I of course had a Donkey Kong, together with lots of others! Still have my Donkey Kong, but no batteries at the moment and no time to play... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

I had The Zelda One. Used To Play It When I Was Supposed To Be Doin Schoolwork <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

[Silveradocruiser]

Back in the days I played ALL the time... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> Don't remember all the different Game&Watches...Besides Donkey Kong, there was Greenhouse and Mickey Mouse that I can think of right now...but there were atleast 25 others! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Mine didn't have an official game (like Donkey Kong), but it did have a silly little number game. Does that count? If it matters, I wasted away many hours (classroom mostly) playing that thing. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Shakey IMO anything with a lcd-screen, annoying *beep*-sound & portable matters <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I had tons of the not-so-cool-games from obscure asian companys. It's just hat Donkey Kong is something of a milestone, since it was the first multiscreen *beep*-game (yup, we called 'em that in li'l ol' Denmark <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> ), and it was also the first game ever from Nintendo featuring Mario <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Nintendo really had some cool licenses in those days (Snoopy-tennis & PopEye).

I never saw a Zelda game in Denmark tho', would definitely want to see one of those, or perhaps some screenshot...How was the gameplay PJ ? Couldn't have been all that involving or big if it was an adventure game, or what ?

I had the Snoopy Tennis. It was an awesome "beep beep game". I also had this fishing game that drove me insane for a while - can't come up with the name though.

Did you have one of these, they were very basic compared to today's standards, but at the time they were realy cool.

I had a double screen one with donkey kong and donkey kong 2. I also had one where you had to juggle, sounds pretty dull now, but used to keep me entertained for hours.

[80sSmurf]

Ohh I remeber this thread from a long time ago, good job reviving it Charm...

I had DK double screen too...And lucky me, I found myself a working one 2-3 months ago...Ahhh the memories

I had the Popeye one!! I also had one called "Octopus" or something like that, where ya had to retrieve treasure and avoid the octopus' tentacles! Hours of fun!
