I had one of these, you'd **** people over when they were playing by putting your hand over the patch in the middle which blacked out the screen

I still own a few of these.....thy misses face was a picture when these got posted and I got excited about them. ... I'm a **** for old gaming gear..... And I must say they seemed more realistic when they first got released back in the day when I was a wee turnip.

You ever have some of these bro ?

I had this one Parachute and my bro had a different one, can't remember what it was.

Remember spending hours on this lost in my own world of trying to save those little men from getting munched.

Mazin' wasn't it ? That big magnified screen made you feel like you were actually at the arcade.

At least it did when you were 8 years old.

did you used to put pretend money into a pretend slot on the side so you get the full going to the arcades affect?

I did

Weirdly things from the past in my memories are things I need in my life these days..... Not for playing really but for reminiscing.... Had a pack of top trumps horror cards for Christmas not been opened or played but a good place to put my resin balls

Used to turn the lights out and draw the curtains and everything to try and simulate the arcade experience.

Sure did loved em...... The watches started having a game built in which were similar but not as good..... The only Christmas present I remember having off my one gran was a star wars watch..... Thought I was the bees knees walking around my council estate.

so I wasn’t the only sad bastard kid around at that time

feel much better tbh

Lol. Just the imagination of a kid. I used to do all sorts of **** like that to try and recreate the real experience.

Remember at me Nan and Granddads, they had one of those old high flush bogs with the long chain and ball on the end. I used to pretend I was driving the Mack truck out of Convoy when I was on the ****ter and the chain was the Horn on the truck <laugh>

Yeah the watches were cool, but the screen and buttons were too small tbh.

I had a calculator watch, same problem really, the little rubber buttons were too small and close together to be able to use it properly.

They got banned at my school, coz teach thought kids would cheat in maths <laugh>
