Made some pics of my G&W collection.
I know it's not really much, just wanted to take some pics and they're also quite photogenic :)

Please post some pics if you also have some G&Wes somewhere in your stack of games and consoles :)

Great pics, Tats!
I've never seen, no less played ANY Game and Watch (and by all means I should have). So I have no pictures to add.

I have the Donkey Kong Jr. one, got it as a kid. I have it stored away somewhere in my house. When I find it, I'll try to remember to take pics. Wish I had bought more as a kid, but, I was at the mercy of my parents love & money, so... :D A friend of mine had the Super Mario Bros. one with the light blue frame. Who knows whatever happened to it. It probably got trashed & is in some landfill somewhere. :cry:

Game and watch systems are awesome, I have a mini collection myself and I really enjoy them.
I specifically remember going to NYC and China Town when I was a kid and seeing a lot of these for sale. I remember not getting any and being sad, so now I have picked some up and relived my lost youth, lol.
You need to get a few of the panorama G&W units, the tech if really damn cool for the time, they are my favorite. Snoopy and Popeye are usually pretty cheap.

Nice collection! I totally forgot about Green House since I had it when I was a kid and I haven't seen mine in years. Not sure where it went.

PHOTOGENIC: Tats, I couldn't agree more...these little machines are photogenic. Forget about the industrial design of the G&W itself, even the text/imagery/logos are laid out with care.
ON THE "MULTI-SCREEN" G&W's: Such a great, practical design. So elegant. To think that it would take three decades for this design to be updated for a modern handheld (by the same company, no less) is...well, it's sad!
RAIN SHOWER: I have never played this, and it intrigues me because the screens are in a horizontal layout...how many other G&W's have this horizontal layout? I have mostly played the single-screen G&W's, decades ago, and I can't remember playing anything like Rain Shower.
OBLIGATORY MENTION: G&W's were expensive and I never owned one as a kid, but you KNOW I LOVED THE CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES because that's what folks gave me on my birthday/xmas. Pole Position Clone in a cute red plastic case? YUP! Generic Horizontal Shoot-em-up (with 3 game variations!) in a CALCULATOR+GAME COMBO*? YUP! Mechanical Wind-up Handhelds that were actually pretty fun, if limited? YUP!
And, finally, did I drool incessantly over what everyone else had? YUP!
SO DON'T TORMENT ME WITH YOUR G&W's, TATS!
SEND ME YOUR LEAST FAVORITE. I'll pay for shipping.
Thank you, Tats. I appreciate your kindness.
*Game-N-Calc? I made a thread or two over the years about it. Casio? I think...

Great pics tats. I've never played one before and have only seen a couple for sale, usually behind a glass case. I never really liked lcd games back in the day but would like to give one of these a try someday. Which is your favorite to play and which is your favorite overall?

@all, thx to all pour les fleurs (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
@clash, yeah. unfortunatelly they are bit pricey over here as almost anything G&W related. but there is a snoopy loose for about 60 bucks in one shop nearby. I might snatch that one day. also had the popeye table top in the past. they sell now for pure gold :(
@esty, thanx a lot for all your comments and rich (funny) input etc. but sorry dear mate, they're not for sale atm (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
@ela, get green house (the green above) as your first G&W. it is an awesome game, very adictive and really has some deepness in it. orig. donkey kong (the orange above) is also very good (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)
some of them tend to be kinda dull and tedious. those two above do certainly not fall into this category ^^
