My thanks to Pieter and pat who originally hosted the pictures for me. Many thanks! I started collecting game & watch only from December 2003 to help my brother find 50 loose game & watch for his advertising concept. Since then I have became a collector. Resisting the appeal of game & watch prove impossible and I'm interested in finding stuff that the senior collectors don't have as I want my collection to be unique. I collect a lot of the variations such as Tricotronic, Pocketsize, Videopoches, J21 and Elektronika. I will first start off with my Pocketsize collection. Each of them comes with their own poly bags and all the paperwork. I have succeeded in collecting all the known New Widescreen Pocketsize, according to a collector friend of mine. I am open to trade offers for my items as long as you can trade Boxed Mega Corp, Pocketsize and Videopoche games. Send me a Personal Message or e-mail me at: nelsonlry@yahoo.com.sg I check my Inbox everyday. My First Pokka: Some game & watch were embellished with the names of companies which used them as prizes for company functions. Pokka is a canned drink company in Asia This is a very rare Oto/Italian variation of Spitball Sparky with Italian paperwork

These are my favourite Tricotronic games of the 20 Boxed that I have. I have nearly completed my collection of Tricotronic Gold and Silver game & watch. I am only missing a Boxed Tricotronic Fire Silver Series. Please e-mail me if you have one for sale. I’m also looking for MIB versions of the games you see here, except for Ball and Lion, as well as any Tricotronic or English instructions. By the way, I also have a boxed Tricotronic Ball for sale or trade. I've also included my favourite Videopoche game & watch i.e. Lion: The back and side of the box also comes with nice pictures: This is my only Videopoche at the moment and it's one of my rarest item

Here are my 10 Boxed Russian Game & Watch i.e. 2 versions of Boxed NMIB Russian Wolf and Egg, Octopus and Merry Cook. The boxes come in bright colours with interestingly designed booklets and are my firm favourites. The first two Boxed Russian game and watch is even better made than regular game and wwatch with a translucent plastic coating over the back and the battery cover. A Russian collector, Gabriel Vach, assures me that when they are not working, there is a good chance to repair them again in his experience. These Russian games have cultural and historical context. "NU PAGADI" means as much as "I will get you". It's from a popular animated TV series of the wulf who want to catch the cute little rabbit. But the rabbit is always faster and so the wolf cries out this phrase! These characters were very famous in the former GDR (east Germany), Czechoslovakia and much of Russia. You could once buy these only in russian shops (usually for russian military personnel and their families). Torsten has a very good Russian game & watch collection: www.intheattic.co.uk/g_&_w_clones.htmSome interesting Russian games: homepages.ihug.co.nz/~pinwhiz/rusgw.htm

Thanks for the compliment, Pieter, I will be updating my Videopoche collection in 6 month's time in this thread. My brother needs to fly down to Belgium to pay for and collect the rest of my Videopoche games. The seller is an old man, who's not really Internet savvy but is an acquantance of my brother's when he came for a tour of Singapore. I'll be buying my Boxed Videopoche Helmet and Manhole from him as well as Fire and Mickey Mouse.

Pieter, the seller invited my brother to stay at his home in return for the hospitality that he had shown to him when he came to Singapore.

Your collection is really great, Nelson . They don't come on auction frequently (indeed, I have never seen boxed Russian games' auctions!). Most people collect Japanese version, although yours is an important histrorical collection of game&watch. Good luck for your collecting, including Videopoche you will soon get . Yoshi

Hi Nelson, You've got a very exotic and impressive collection... Why don't you fly along with your brother to Belgium and visit in the meantime that your brother is visiting his friend Pieter and me (and any other dutch collectors, such as Sander(slootweg), Mattijs(matsor) and Patrick(depeppie))in Holland, it's only 120 km from the Belgium border to Amsterdam. Just to talk about collecting G&W's and drink some nice and cold Heineken... Cheers, Danny

I would love to do that...but I may need to take a raincheck as the seller seems to have second thoughts But I'll love to meet up with you guys one of these days. I'm really astonished by the number of Dutch collectors whom I know i.e. almost 10 of them so far. It would be a great pleasure to talk to people who share your interest.

I already thought about that too...why not set up a meeting?...Sorry Nelson, we can't all come to Singapore The price for a ticket is at least worth a nice pocketsize game ;D ;D If i ever come to Singapore (maybe on a honeymoon sometime) i'll pay you a visit. bye

Hi Mattijs, I wouldn't mind coming to Belgium for a short visit but it probably can only be in the end of the year. I'm quite interested in checking out Belgium's flea markets for Videopoche games
