/vr/ - Retro Games

I forgot these even existed

>tfw Nintendo re-released some Game & Watch titles, but most of them are just as expensive as the originals.

Donkey Kong Jr is $10, Donkey Kong is $100

The Game & Watch keychains (called Nintendo Mini Classics) are pretty cheap and from what I remember, not bad. These three are available on Amazon as a bundle for $25 or you can buy each separately for ~$12.

I know this isn't exactly /vr/ but I'd recommend a 3DS for all your Game & Watch needs. You can purchase the three Gameboy games for $10 total, then the 9 DSiWare games for $18. Only Flagman and Judge seem to be exclusive to DSiWare so really, you're looking at $14 if you're only picking up unique games. I love the DSiWare re-releases; nobody talks about them but they're awesome. I'm pretty passionate about Game & Watch.

People with money are always the influencers and set the trends, that's why these games are shit on and ignored so much - they were marketed towards poor people. While it's true that every parent should have just gotten a gameboy, the games could still definitely be fun and at least playable.

Since Nintendo entered the mobile market I was wondering if a sort of mobile version of Game & Watch Gallery would work at all, seeing as obtaining an actual G&W is so expensive

games are incredibly simple and have so few buttons I could see all the single screen ones working fine

maybe this is just an awful idea though, what do you guys think

>>3840920
Whoops, was reading the wrong column. The only DSiWare G&W game you need if you buy the three on Gameboy is Mario's Cement Factory. So $12 for unique games.

>>3840920

The Mini Classics were what I was referring to. The 3 in your image are cheap, the others aren't.

eBay is better for prices on a few. I found SpiderMan, Soccer, and Carrera for good prices, averaging $20. The Amazon listings are all over the place.

>>3840874
In the same shape as this I had Mighty max and The amazing spiderman

>>3840892
Don't people play Game&Watch Gallery games on GB? I had G&W2 growing up and wound up tracking the others down long ago.

I would waste so much goddamned time playing Ball on my phone you have no idea.

>I would waste so much goddamned time playing Ball on my phone you have no idea.

I can imagine. I emulate the Gallery series and Tetris on my phone to pass the time when I'm not home. That's why I figured this kind of thing might work out.

>>3840874
Love these crappy things

>>3840925
It was kinda silly to buy these things, since they were $10 - $12 a piece, while gameboy games were $20-30.

Also, I was KING at pic related.
Also, you can play a ton of them here:

I remember having a red one, I was 4 or 5. You were a helicopter or something and you had to shoot the pterodactyls flying towards you.

I can't find any pictures of one for the life of me.

Sadly, better than any of the console games.

Tiger Handhelds were an art.

>>3841778

I've only played it through Pica-Pic (which has a reproduction of Terminator, among other LCD games) and it's one of the best games on there.

I think Tiger handhelds in general suffered because they were too ambitious. For all the praise Game & Watch games get, they play pretty similarly to each other.

Skeet Shoot is legit one of my favorite games.

You member the Ninja Turtle ones by Konami?

>>3843285
Uh... no? Excuse me but do I know you? What the fuck. The Hell does "Ninja Turtle ones by Konami" even mean? Never spoken to you here have I NOPE? So you're assuming I might have heard about this game why? Also you're speaking to me why? Pretty sure we aren't friends. I don't want to be your friend. Never will. Nope... Don't talk to me anymore. Bye, loser.

Grown ass man here, I'd still get the Happy Meal if the toys included were like back in the day.

I think this was for the SA2 release.

I had a Small Soldiers one, I never figured out how to play it.

How does that work with jsut one button? Is it used to jump in a sidescroller?

>>3844054

It played like an endless runner, the single button was for jumping.

This. The idea was you were Shadow in Radical Highway and you were grinding on a rail the whole time. All you did was jump over shit that got in his way.

I vaguely remember having fun with this. Ending up buying it off eBay just for nostalgia purposes. The LCD can only be seen when held at a certain angle. No idea how to fix

>>3840874
One jump ahead of the breadline!

I had this game and I remember it being really good but I broke it accidentally makes me sad to think about it

>>3845440
quality post

>>3844178
That and pic related were my favorite LCD games. Used to compete with my dad on them, they're the closest thing to vidya that he didn't actively hate.

>>3845432
>only two buttons are call and swing/command

What were you doing in this game? Is it an escort mission? Why did someone think that video game trope was good enough to base an entire game around?

>>3845557
you run down the road, avoid rocks, shimmy up a tree (either to right or left) when a raptor comes, i think you just have to avoid the spitting ones, and when there's a t-rex, you climb the tree and swing at the correct time. i'm not sure beyond that.

>>3843285
I played it when I was REALLY young, but never since. Can't say I remember much about it.

>>3843285
yep yep. remember the turtles basketball one by konami?

>>3845553
that game was amazing.

my dad got it as a gift when he was building his car back in 1999 and I completely destroyed the default pass times for each class.

funny how something simple like this can teach you about control and applying power to the wheels. lol
