MetalSlime23 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I guess I'm the only person who has never heard of these. They are pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I currently own the Pac-man Watch, but the band is broken, so I don't wear it anymore (just like the one pictured in the second post) ANd I also own the Star Fox watch a couple of posts up, and still play with that. Got it for sending in cerial boxes or something midish 90's I used to have a pong (breakout?) watch, but that's been long go lost to time. What surprises me, is how playable these things are, especially considering how unplayable so may of those handheld single games were in the 80/90's Starfox was awesome and it had nova bombs, buildings and several badguys, pac-man had several tunes and I rolled the score on that a few times (not to hard since it only went to 999...I thin) Great games, wish there were more of them, guess it's time to check up on Ebay.

JadeETC Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I used to have one by Tandy, it was a space game. I thought I was so cool wearing that thing around. Teachers at school wouldn't let me use it after a while. Then some jerk punched me in the wrist and it broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Oh wow I do remember having a game watch in the early 80's. I have no idea who made it although I have a very vague recollection that it was a space invaders type game. Wish I could remember. Damn feeble old brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have the Super Mario World game watch... I think it may be the only piece of Mario merchandise sold in the USA that refers to the game as "Super Mario Bros 4" right on the front. Wore it as recently as 2004; still works fine. Wish I still had the clamshell case. I remember it came with earbuds very similar to those the b/w Game Boy shipped with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonoidTentacle Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a Super Mario Race and I traded it in the late 90's for a DVD. I was soooooooo stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhite2600 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a Casio Game-10 watch. I bought it with my own money in the early 80's. My father freaked. He is very "old school" and thought a watch should be for telling time and nothing else. (He's still afraid of most technology.) He made me return the watch. I went back to the store a few days later and bought it again. This time I didn't tell him about it. http://pocketcalculatorshow.com/nerdwatch/1980-casio-gm-10-game-watch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I had a Space Invaders (clone) watch from the early 80's as a kid. I have no idea how to ever find a pic of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
