Welcome to Fredrik Kellén's Game&Watch Collection
There may be thousands of games that are more advanced and more fun to play, but few of
those have so high nostalgic value as Nintendo's Game&Watch games.
April 28:th 1980 was the date for the first release ever of a Game&Watch game. It was
introduced by designer Gunpei Yokoi (1941-1997), and suddenly there was a Game&Watch
in almost every home.
In Scandinavia alone almost two million games were sold during 1981-1992. In Sweden
800.000 units (Source: Nintendo-se).
The games featuring Donkey Kong and Marios Bros became huge successes in the 80's.
As far as I know only 59 different G&W-games have been released by Nintendo Co. Ltd,
Kyoto, in Japan.
There are ten different categories of Game & Watch: The first Silver-series that was
produced in 1980, then came Gold (1981), Widescreen (1981-1982), Multiscreen (1982-1989),
Tabletop (1983), Panorama (1983-1984), New Widescreen (1982-1991), Super Color (1984),
Micro Vs. (1984) and Crystal Screen (1986).
If you have any Game & Watches you want to sell or trade, please let me know. Please
note however that nothing on my list is for sale...
With best regards
