Game&Watch Discovery of the Year!
- Details
Collectors of Game&Watch very well know the colorful Pocketsize Games that were released in the USA and Canada. And collectors know the nice carded Games as well. But up until now, no one ever has seen a carded Pocketsize Game!Our member Ash888 made the discovery of the year – a carded Pocketsize Snoopy Tennis SP-30 from the Wide Screen Series! An incredible find!
Ash actually owns this game now. He bought it a few weeks ago off a seller from the USA. Unfortunately the seller didn’t tell (or know?) anything further about this rare piece of Game&Watch history.
How many more carded Pocketsize Games are out there...?

New Game&Watch Promo "Lord Extra"
- Details
The series of special promotional games is extended by another game. On February 22nd, a tricOtronic Achtung Graben (Manhole) of the Gold Series was on ebay.
The extra outer cardboard is an advert for tobacco, precisely for Lord Extra cigarettes. This Promo clearly comes from Germany, because it’s a tricOtronic game and because Lord Extra is a German cigarette brand.
Unfortunately, the seller could not provide any further information about this promo. He bought the game on ebay himself a while ago.

Bienengräber catalogue
- Details
A very rare find changed ownership last December: A catalog from the company Bienengräber. This over 25 pages strong catalog was given away by the company Bienengräber to their dealers. In the 80s, Bienengräber was the first Nintendo distributor in Germany.
Besides many Game&Watch games, the catalog also contains pictures and information of many other LCD games from that time.
The seller Frank Waligorski informed me, that he probably received the catalog in the 80s in a toyshop in Reutlingen. He still was a child by that time and he liked to have a Game&Watch game.
The final price of EUR 166.99 shows how rare and popular items related to Game&Watch are.
