Rare Game&Watch from Sweden!
- Details
Once more a Game&Watch rarity was discovered. A Fire Attack ID-29 from Sweden that has an additional special imprint on the box: HO. This is similar to the games from France with the J.i21 logo imprinted.The HO. stands for Henrik Oskarson, this name is imprinted on the box as well. On the backside of the manual you can see the name of a company called Bergsala Handels AB. Probably this was the general importer of the G&W games. It's unknown why the name Henrik Oskarson is imprinted on the box.
Many thanks to our member gameandwatch who reported this and send the pictures.
