Game &  Watch


Portable LCD games, first game (Ball) released in 1980


Game & Watch games were LCD-based standalone games, such as Ball and Manhole, that also had a clock and alarm function. Later models varied wildly in design. The multi-screen models helped inspire the two-screen design of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS consoles.
