    game and watches are awesome! its a subcollection of mine, so far i'm up to 9 of them. i refuse to pay the ebay going rate for them but love them when i come across them in the wild. theres a big following for these, almost outside of the gameplay and more into the "neato japanese toy" genre.

    They are "da bomb", as the kids like to say.
    Super Mario Bros. was one of my favorites, as was the two Donkey Kong games. I really wish Nintendo would have made a special Game+Watch Game Boy Advance SP to go with the Famicom version they recently made for a contest in Japan. Game+Watches were really slick looking, and I'd love to have an SP that shared their features.

    Game & Watch...

    I collect these too..,,though not as much as I used to..I payed some of the high Ebay prices..then I started finding them cheap at Flea markets..etc.
    I was really into collecting these...
    Game & Watch games were a major wallet breaker for me until I ran into the Neo Geo stuff..
    Now the Neo stuff is really doing the wallet in.. x_x

    My Favorite Game & Watch games are the tabletop versions..

    I have four of these. Quite fun, but I won't pay for them on ebay--though I have been pondering the Zelda one. I just have the few that I've been lucky enough to find thrifting. Pretty cool, kitchsy items.

    I have about 20+ Game and Watches, but they're all the ones I bought in the 80's as a kid.. I'd like to start collecting them though, but it seems everyone and their brother wants to charge a mint for them!

    The thing is, Game and Watches are so friggin COMMON since they were literally sold worldwide.. every small electronic shop run by an arab and their brother had them in stock. So there's no way I'm gonna spend more than the rate they were when they were brand new in '81/'82.

    I have 2 of them, Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros.
    I bought them around 1993 I guess at some kind of computer trade show in a hotel in the neighbourhood. There was also a fake SNES there, at that time I didn't know what it was exactly, but now I know that it was a NES/Famicom clone.

    I still own the Game & Watches and they're both entirely complete.

    I also remember Donkey Kong Jr., a friend of my brother owned Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. and we used to have those at home sometimes (before I got my Game & Watches). Good times, I also have 'Game & Watches' from other brands such as Bandai (Zaxxon, Super Boy), also some cheap ones.
