Hello, I have a question for you guys, i would like to recreate some of the game&watch consoles but i'm a bit worried about the patents on those devices. But then again, when i clicked on the link above where you can play them online, i guess its allowed to do so? Can someone shed some light on this? can a use the graphics from the game&watch games to recreate them? This is the link of the online games: www.handheld.remakes.org/online.php

Recreate as in? You want to manufacture the whole console? Altogether? I am a passionate collector and strictly against this recreation.. Are you recreating for selling purpose? Whats the purpose of recreation? Unless you think u gonna make profit out of it.. Recreation as a part for restoration is understandable..
Let me know the purpose of your idea.
Regards

Nono, i'm not trying to recreate the entire console. but i want to port the games to mobile. So i dont want to create the shell etc, but only the screen portion. would want to use the graphics to make it more realistic and closer to the original

Hi ! To aatifk, is this kind of recreation understandable ? This DK2 was in poor condition. Now I'm happy to play with, after a lifting !

Brilliant face lift.. I like this.. Let me know if you are producing these for all games? Good work.. Nice for consoles without the original face plates..
Regards

I think vipezz is talking about emulation.

I remember that a couple of simulators appeared in appstore a few years ago and they were removed at some point, as far as I can remember due to Nintendo's request. There are certain copyrights involving game&watch games and it would be best if you contacted Nintendo and asked whether they could give you permission about this first.. I'm not sure they would grant your request though even if you charged nothing for the download.. There are lots of simulators for the PC already of course and I haven't seen any action towards stopping their distribution so it might be a good idea to ask madrigal for advice. Here's his site: www.madrigaldesign.it/sim/Michael

It's in carton, with a plastic film to protect above. A good color printer and a lot of patience ! Next project will be in metal plate and transparent label. See you soon !
