    Anybody have one of these growing up?

    Finding this watch buried in a box brought back some silly memories. Are there others like it? Perhaps a Donkey Kong watch? The back reads (C) 1989 Nintendo of America.

    Just found the following if anyone's curious:

    Yup

    I had one of those and used to play it a lot

    Don`t know what I did with it as I am sure I was collecting/hoarding at the time otherwise I wouldn`t have bought it.

    Can I find it now

    They were made by Nelsonic, who also did other game-related watches (link).

    I had one of these as a kid. I used to get so angry with the zelda game. I ended up breaking. Oh how stupid I feel now.

    I had a double dragon one, back in 1991. It doesn't have a battery, but it's still likely to work.

    I came across it the other day when I was looking for stuff in my old drawers.

    I had one of these- it was a starfox one, and I bought it at a flea market. Unfortunately it broke within a short period of time. It was fun while it lasted.

    Mine still works, fortunately! Probably because it's been hiding from me all these years...

    It's interesting that most people had different watches.. I can only remember the SMB watch!
