Do you have any nostalgia for these? Do you like this style of game? 

For me, it's yes and yes. I never owned any of these, but I had several friends that had them and I always tried to play them. Now that I know how games work better than when I was seven, I have a lot of fun with them.

I just figured I'd ask since I recently opened my copy of Game & Watch Collection 2 on the DS and even though it only has a couple of games, they are lots of fun.

That looks a lot like a DS ... LCD games I remember were mostly from Tiger Electronics. They get shit on a lot, but I had fun with them. 

Haven't watched AVGN in forever, so no idea how good this is, but it was the first hit on Youtube and felt appropriate.

I first heard about a Game and Watch from Super Smash Brothers Melee, which is probably where a lot of us younger folks found out about them. I wanted to get one, but they sure ain't cheap, so instead I bought the Game and Watch Gallery series. This is a pretty cool series that not only contains a nice collection of Game and Watch games, but it also has "modern" versions of them that smooth out the gameplay and typically add a new twist to the games. They're certainly some of the best "high-score" games around.

I still don't have an original Game and Watch, but I did get the replica Game and Watch from Club Nintendo. Unfortunately, the game is "Ball," which is one of the least interesting games; I'd have prefered something like "Fire" or "Oil Panc." But "Ball" was the first Game and Watch game so I s'pose that's why it was chosen.

I have several of the Gameboy G&W titles. I enjoy having both the 'Mario' and classic versions. I also have an unopened Club Nintendo G&W DS game Ball G&W replica. I had intended to sell them off to the highest bidder but now we are out of debt so...I may just keep them.

I'd love to get some old G&W games. Tiger takes me back too. I had the Ducktales one.
