@UglyJoe

haha it's small and easy to miss

@wholesalewatch648 You never know man... luck shines on us all at some point. If I were ever to dive into the G&W game, I'd probably only try to recapture 1 or 2 that I had from childhood

Game and Watches are just so, so expensive now. When I first started collecting, I managed to pick up a brand new Zelda and Donkey Kong for cheap. I was also offered 12 brand new Mario the Jugglers for £30 each, those were worth £300 then I can't imagine what they are worth now, but I hesitated and got pipped to the post on those.

After that I decided I wanted to just collect Famicom, but I would love a brand new Oil Panic and Greenhouse one day. I was lucky to find a brand new Octopus for an affordable price last year.

I did look around for some way back but the prices were just too inflated for me even then, they've risen steadily ever since.

Yeah the prices are crazy on those. I only ever had Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Jr. Always thought the Zelda one looked cool but it's too expensive nowdays.

I don't get why the battery door is always missing on the ones you see. You only remove it to change batteries than you immediately put it back again.

I think they break and get lost.

Yeah well maybe the small tabs might break off or something. My G&W games are in as good shape as they always been for some reason. My instructions booklets was always torn/lost though.

Man I haven't been here in such a long time! I apologize! If you must know, I've been hunting and hunting and traveling as well! I have two jobs now but that doesn't stop me from finding gold! I'm in the process of saving up to open my own retro game store. If things go well, it will be opened in a year! I can't wait! Anyways, let me share with you guys what I've picked up in the past week!

This is my latest loot !
