I think I might have played a couple of those Game and Watch games a long, long time ago. They belonged to a kid who lived up the street from us when we lived in Norway. He had all the cool stuff - his dad was a bigwig in the Norwegian oil industry or something.

Nothing notable to report today, beyond a couple of decent games. I have been thinking about LCD games a lot lately and might very well play some Donkey Kong on the Game & Watch DS collection I have sitting right here. Regardless, I do enjoy a good LCD-style game (even games in that style on a modern system are OK in my book), and I think they don't get a lot of respect. There's probably good reason for this, but I think they can be pretty fun if you are in the right mindset.
The Game & Watch collections on DS (from Club Nintendo) are pretty great, although part 2 feels a little scant on content. The Retro Pocket DSi-Ware title is also a lot of fun, as are the collectible LCD games you can find in Deadlight.
Is there a solid connection between those games and Donkey Kong outside of the actual Donkey Kong Game & Watch handheld? I am not sure, but I went with it. You'll have to excuse me on my 18th entry in February, I'm getting a little Finnegan's Wakey on you. I do have some actual ideas of related things to discuss, but those will probably have to wait until the weekend or later. I'm still pretty busy, tired, blah, blah, and blah. Keep up the good work on your own BaD entries, guys. You're doing great. I'm going to go read a few before turning in.
