Game & Watch

    I was at a dump car boot sale on Sunday and I picked this up (literally, it was lying on the ground with some boots and a knackered radio). I know nothing about Game & Watch and with its considerable history, and so I'm having difficulty finding out if it's a worthless piece of plastic, or the find of the year.

    The back says:
    Model No: YM-105
    (c) Nintendo 1988

    It appears to work ok, although I can't turn it off :D (not because it's brilliant, it's blatantly rubbish, but great for its day, no doubt)

    ETA: Wooh, 2000 posts! Was hoping to use it to show my DC collection, but those (nice people) who sold me my JAP-DC are screwing me about.

    It depends what game it is. Some of the rarer ones are worth an absolute fortune. I'd check up how much it's worth. Nice find.

    Yeah, it doesn't come out v.clear on that photo, but it's something called Super Mario Bros. Mario? Never 'eard of him!

    Just looked on eBay (don't know why I didn't think of that before) and it's going for between 10 and 30 quid unboxed, so not the rare find I was hoping for :D

    The mario brothers one was common as muck back in the day, but looking at ebay they seem to go for about $200 in mint boxed condition.
