Nintendo Game & Watch




It began with a game called "Fire". So simple...save people jumping from a burning building by bouncing them into the ambulance using your trampoline. But it quickly became an exciting series of games, including titles like "Octopus", "Popeye", "Parachute" and "Manhole". All simple single screen LCD games. These games would hit it's peak with the release of "Donkey Kong"...a dual screen flip top game. My friend owned this game and I played it so much at school that I wanted my own. So on my next birthday I was excited to unwrap my present and find..."Oil Panic". Don't feel too bad, I ended up loving that too.

funny you posted that link byron. guess what i bought from ebay for $3.99 immediately after creating this post. let's hope it works on the advance sp like i read it does. if not, i'll search ebay for a gamboy color.

gameboy color games work on the SP, or at least they're supposed to. oh - and i'm pretty sure there are like 4 versions of these game and watch collections.
