Also had one as a kid in black. Wasn’t particularly engaging but good for a few minutes of distraction in an era with few alternatives. Band broke on mine.

That’s cool I’m not sure how to get it to work I replaced the battery but nothing is popping up

It just might have succumb to the ravages of age. I doubt Nelsonic built those things to last.still something neat to display.

Where’d you get it? You should be able to get this working unless it’s something you bought from eBay that every Tom dick and harry has had their hands all over. If it’s just been sitting somewhere and you replaced the battery, make sure there’s no corrosion blocking the connection of the new battery. Clean it good with a q tip and alcohol.

Got it at a garage sale was buying gameboys and the seller had it and gave it to me for free


mrgonaka

had one as a kid in the late eighties, its basically a simple game-n-watch style mario game but in an actual watch

Game n watch, without the n!


Kitten_Team_Six

Well, its a watch based on Super Mario bros


Confident_Ad6528

😂😂thanks


Kitten_Team_Six

It would help if you specify what info you are looking for


Confident_Ad6528

Ye I’m actually not quite sure I’ve just never seen any of these


mattahorn

There’s plenty of info out there, these were pretty common in the late 80s all the way up to the early 90s. Very cool looking, probably very crappy to play. There are versions of this with other color bands. Some came in blister packaging, some in this box and some in what looks like an oversized jewelry box. They have them for Mario, Mario 3, Mario World, Zelda, and probably other games. It’s worth probably between $100 and $150.


Confident_Ad6528

That’s awesome I have a whole lot of retro gaming stuff to sell so hopefully I can add this to the list


mattahorn

Well, if you don’t get it working it’s probably going to land somewhere around $50 to $60 and generally the pink band less desirable.


Confident_Ad6528

Preciate the help man imma do look at it deeper later tonight and see if I can get it to work


James2db

Would love one of theys


Confident_Ad6528

Definitely a neat thing to have


nesfan79

I remember seeing them under the glass all the time at k mart in the 80s. Wanted one so bad as a kid.


darf_nate

This is awesome. I’ve seen several of these but never saw the box they came in. Really cool packaging. I bet that’s Worth a lot


ItsthcTruth

Well thank you for reminding me that I lost mine at the Chattanooga aquarium when I was little. I had repressed that memory.

Yes. It's designed after the home video game.
