I was watching the movie Pixels the other night and looking at some of the old video games the referenced like Donkey Kong and Asteroids etc. I downloaded a few of those just to try them out and I also remembered the old Nintendo hand held games like this.
I remember I had this game, plus donkey Kong 3, and green house. I think some of these are worth a bit now. These hand held games were massive back in the early 80s and we're well before the first Game Boy. Did anyone have some of the other games? I remember there was one about oil?
Game And Watch from Nintendo Some of them are highly searched after. I got a couple from when I was a kid.
If you want to have a good laugh, I also think you need to watch: "The King of Kong". Sadly, the documentary isn't always factual. It got taken to court by some of the people in it, saying that it gives a bad represenation. But the court judged that the reality is even worst then the docu. 😅
Oh... I know at my moms' place you should find:
There is also some other stuff, but I don't know them by heart. And they are not from Nintendo. My cousin had:
And the Donkey Kong game you showed in the original post. (I think that's all of them... DK 1, 2 and Jr.)
Thanks for supplying the name. I didn't even pay attention to what it's actually called, apart from the name of the game. From memory they were good units considering how many times all the keys would be mashed.
@Laughman Oh my niece had them. And DK Jr. I posted them in my bigger post.
But I had to look DK 3... and apperently it excists. I never ever seen this module.
But yeah, it was a cheap way back then for my mom to say: "now you have a computer too". And I kinda loved these games, I played them a lot. But they do get repetitive.
What amazed me, is that I tried Zelda out a couple of years ago. And it suddenly was hard again 😅
I just looked up: "Game and Watch: Zelda". They are asking 300 US dollar for it out there 😅. I'm pretty sure it's catching dust at my parents place unless mom gave it away.
