There were a few of them. I played on the one with a Dinosaur game, where you were a caveman and you just went around beating Dinosaurs with your club. It was actually quite hard. The graphics were worse than an old GameBoy, and I played it around 8-9 years ago.

The other was a Jurassic Park game. Now that, was what I call a hard game.

Game & watch Gallery now that is good.
If you have a gameboy there's Game & Watch Gallery 1, 2 & 3 for the gameboy. It full of all the Game & watch games, and new versions of the games, my fav is the food cooking one, chef, but they are equally as fun as the old classics.

I remember giving my mate that for his 6th b/day...most of the ones I had were space related, asteriods, space invaders, cheap copies of them...and one that appeared in a science encyclopedia at the end of the 80's demonstrating how powerful computers were now getting in such a compact size...

Now you can buy the Nintendo LCD games as key-ring size working versions. Technology is marvellous isn't it? I used to have Donkey Kong (the double screen one) and now I can get a much smaller version that hangs from a keyring, so I can carry it around and play it whenever I get bored.

You must try some of the Nintendo Game-and-watch games, they are fantastic. This is the stuff of gaming history, Mario and Luigi throwing turtle shells, climbing closer and closer to Donkey Kong as you carefully jump barrels with beads of sweat rolling down your face or rescuing Smurfs from gargamel, ahhh those were the days. Suprisingly the games are still very playable, despite being pretty basic, and it's great to be able to have them this small so that you can carry them around with you.

Right, I'm saving up to buy another one!
