Game & Watch - Nintendo

 

Game & Watch Super Mario Bros

When I was in Primary School (circa 1978 to 1980), the Game & Watch was a popular digital game. There were Octopus, Parachute, Helmet, Ball games. Subsequently, there was Donkey Kong. Friends had all these digital games as they were from relatively rich background. I did not own these but had the opportunity to borrow and play, thanks to them.

It was not until in December 2020 that I bought a Game & Watch from the USA. This digital game is to celebrate 35th anniversary of the Super Mario game. Other than 2 sets of Super Mario games, it has the game of Ball. It reminds me of my childhood and a time when there is no wifi and no internet. This machine does not connect to the Internet which I think is unique and relates to a time when there is no reliance on internet and no software virus. 👍

The game has a similar colour and feel of the original set (eg size). The screen is however coloured LCD. Battery is internal battery with a USB cable, instead of LR44. 

Loving this retro game!
