Game & Watch


Seeing the slick Famicom GameBoy Micro brought back so happy memories of Nintendo Game & Watch titles of old. Most of the Genki team were happy to hammer away at Donkey Kong's rubbery keys through school ski trip bus journeys or even challenge a chum to a playground battle of two player Donkey Kong Ice Hockey... But it seems in Japan these sublime Mario gift sets were available to the lucky, lucky few who came out top in the Famicom F1 Grand Prix challenge. And luckily for Genki coming across a veritable Aladdin's cave of the handhelds, the budget wouldn't stretch as far as adding this to the site. Still hopefully it'll still be sat there waiting in an Osaka back street for our return...

Aint is strange that video games are going back to their routes.Playstation did a lot for video games but it also turned it into the McDonalds generation of throwing out any old crap and people lapped it up.When i look back on the snes and n64 i see the happiest playing time of my life.So many great games.Even Actraiser,a 15 year old game.Long live the retro revival and sites like this one.
