It's been quite sometime since I started enjoying those old Game & Watch LCD handhelds by Nintendo, and I must admit to being absolutely startled at the sheer playability and addictiveness of those rather ancient handhelds. Though I could suggest you have a look over at eBay in order to grab a couple, I'm quite aware of their, well, rather inflated prices, and this is the reason why I will suggest you visit Handheld Remakes instead.
There, you will find excellent simulated versions of some of the best Game & Watch games, that -though not particularly portable- have lost nothing in the translation. What's more, those remakes are far from restricted to Nintendo's early games. You'll find a ton of Mattel, Bandai, Tiger etc stuff to help you waste your time in a most pleasant way. Enjoy.
As far as online gaming museums go, GameAndWatch.com is one of the most impressive ones and one that will definitely be of great interest to gamers interested in all things handheld and retro. It is after a rich museum that extensively covers Nintendo's classic Game & Watch series. Have a look and shed a nostalgic tear.
I do believe most of you do know, that I -your humble gnomish servant- have also been blogging @ Siliconera for quite some time now. What you definitely aren't aware of though, is that an illustrious member of the Siliconera crew discovered something particularly interesting:If you type “ball” in DS Rakubiki Jiten [DS Dictionary] two words show up and if you click on the grey word it opens up the classic Game & Watch game Ball. The game is played entirely on the touch screen where you hit left and right to keep the two balls balanced in the air.
PocketGamer Blog discovered something pretty amazing: two lovely keychain sized remakes of the classic Zelda and Donkey Kong Game & Watch handhelds. Apparently, they are for sale too. Lovely and tiny as can be.
