Ok, one thing I don't think anyone mentioned yet is the Game and Watch. Now you talking back in the day. I had one and only one ... Vermin. You had a hammer in each hand and these things (vermin) would crawl up from the ground. You had to position the hammer above them so it would hit them when they came out of their holes. That was one of my prized possessions until a friend dropped it in school. Of course, I played others that my friends had but my favorite was by far Donkey Kong. Two screens worth of gaming goodness. I have some pics for those who don't go back that far.

what about the TIGER portable games? LOL

[vivman1107]

I doh know. Somehow I used to think the Tiger games were like a cheap knock-off of the Game and Watch series. I guess it was better than nothing until Game Boy come along. De ting I really wanted was a Sega Nomad. Playing Genesis games on the go ... Now that was a idea. I guess we now have something close in the GBA (to play NES and SNES games).

[vivman1107]

Hmm ... I have a data bank on my wrist right now but I doh seem to remember it having any games on it. My friend had a watch with a kinda shooting game with a plane. Also, my cousin had a Pac-Man watch that was real nice.
