The wife had these as a kid and the mother in law brought them with her  when she came from Italy to visit for Xmass!

they sorta remind me of the watches sears had way back in the early 90s.  they were handheld game ports like robocop and such but they were watches.  i dont see how anyone could have played the games but they were cool.  i even have pics of them in one of my old sears catalogues.

Oooooo, I had the DK one as a when I was knee high to a mushroom, I think it was the first thing I ever bought with my pocket money as a kid!

I was playing it last night on a piss poor cocktail in town too.  :)

I had one of these in mint condition till a few months ago when my sons found it.  They replaced the batteries and it still worked.

Even I'm pretty jealous...

I have a few beet up ones in a box somewhere.  I better dig them up.

But nothing beets the retro gaming on a system that looks like it's never been used.

Congrats.

Also included was a 1st gen gameboy and an assortment of games. They all looked like they were just bought at the store.

It's amazing what people have in their closets....

Once I was looking all over town for a Nintendo (NES) I called over 12 local places and they were all out of stock. I bought one on half.com... the guy never responded to me, so I cancelled it. I got despondent...

Drove by a video game store that I had seen a bunch of times, they only carried imports... looked them up in the phone book. Not in it. Called information and they had the number. I called em up and asked if they had one. They told me the didn't have any to sell. Then after I said thanks they said, "but I have my own personal one you can have" I asked how much, figuing about $100-$200 or some other crazy amount. The lady said "No, you can HAVE it". I drove to the place, she had left it behind the counter for me, and the employees gave it to me. Brand new in box. I figured the lady just worked there... they told me it was the owners personal Nintendo, and she had only used it once. Weird. I mean, she could have sold it, but gave it away. Just weird. Oh well, all the better for me.
