Game watches (by GCE)

[Ummon]

These are the ones I was talking about a bit back. I had both of them. I could buy these, but I'd want to play them so scratch that. In order of release:


Game Time

Arcade Time

Wow, I had one of those (Game Time) when I was a kid!  It was aweome - you could even take the wrist strap off and just play it like a micro handheld.   The four games are great too, very creative use of the display.  Man does THAT bring back memories.

So, bidding is now over $130.  The ---daisies---.  I guess I'll pass.  I'd actually prefer a used one because at least then I wouldn't feel guilty about breaking it out of the box!

I had the game time too when I was a kid AHH games during class so fun
doesn't anyone make a more modern version of those?

I never owned one, but my friends had them.  What fun!  I do recall playing a Pacman one, is there such a thing?

Yeah, there was a Pac game watch. After these two, I had a Q-bert watch that was pretty cool. The problem with the Game Time, the Q-bert, and any with the rubber buttons was the same issue with cordless phones with rubber buttons - the conducting gel underneath wears out and they're not replacable. The Arcade time had a plastic button (and I'm guessing metal contact underneat) which didn't suffer this issue.

Anyways, notice how much these went for?! Kinda neat but I'm sure not in that range of collecting.
