Update of the Website

gameandwatch.ch has undergone some major software updates. Most part of the website now is responsive, so it's displaying correctly on mobile devices such as Smartphones, Tablets, iPad etc.

The change is not fully completed yet. Because this website has over 400 pages, this will take a while :-)

Presenting the Game&Watch Games

Many collectors like to exhibit their games at home. Many of the Game&Watch games can placed nicely with their fold-out stand on the back side. That's the games from the series Gold, Wide Screen and New Wide Screen. The Game&Watch games of the two series Table Top and Panorama can placed very good as well.

J.i21 Life Boat for EUR 4011.00

A very special Game&Watch has changed ownership today for a lot of money.

For incredible EUR 4011.00 a Multi Screen Life Boat was sold on ebay.

This is no ordinary Life Boat, but a J.i21. These were sold in France. The special kind is, that they have the J.i21 logo imprinted on the box. That's what makes these games rare, because not many of them are around, a Life Boat is even extremely rare.

Update: Game&Watch book latest news

The current status is as follows:
Currently, the authors are waiting for the offer from the printing company. After that, production will start. This will take about ten to 14 days. During this time, the authors will provide an application form for their newsletter. Everyone who subscribes to the list will be notified once the book is ready for shipping. That will be the case about by the end of November.

Everything took more times as planned. The reason is, that the authors Dave and Gerhard manage everything themselves. They have neither a publisher nor they have support from someone else who would help them (or could help) and the work of such a book is enormous!

Well, let's wait and look forward eagerly to the new Game & Watch book!

Reading instead of gaming – a new book about Game&Watch!

The legend of Game & Watch goes on and on!

The legend of Game & Watch goes on and on!
Soon a new book about the popular Nintendo Game&Watch handheld games from 80s will be published. The following facts are already known:
its title is Der inoffizielle Game&Watch Sammler-Katalog.
The book is produced by the two authors Dave (David) Gschmeidler and Gerhard Meyer. They are from Vienna in Austria. Since their early days they got into videogame culture, design, music and media.

It will still take some time until everything is ready, but gameandwatch.ch has the worldwide exclusive right to report about it already!

Promotional version Mickey&Donald "siteco"

Game&Watch still is good for surprises!

It's known that some Game & Watch games were produced as promotional versions.
These are games having an additional (company) logo printed on them, on behalf of companies.
It's unknown how many different ones of them exist. But now another one appeared:

Siteco Mickey & Donald

Siteco is a German company with a subsidiary in France that had given away the promotional games.
