Subject: 80's Handheld Electronic Games

All this talk of arcade and computer games got me reminiscing. Anyone remember the Nintendo Game & Watch handheld games released in 1981?
My Mum bought us all Octopus, Egg and Popeye! We used to have so much fun!
Here's a website I looked at http://www.handheldmuseum.com/

I remember those. I used to have some of the Tiger ones: Double Dragon & Altered Beast. I even had a Super MArio Bros. 3 Watch :)

Well done Whistle, I knew I could count on you. Just had to add Popeye for old times sakes.

I still have a primitive TOMY Cosmic Combat game. It's an L.E.D. space invaders style game.

There was another site I tried to find that had even more of them like "Dungeons and Dragons", but it seems to have closed down :(
