chances are, at some point in your youth, you owned a small portable electronic LCD video game.
at one point in time, such games like these were quite popular.
i owned several of such games, most were made by tiger electronics.
i still have my "double dragon" game by tiger electronics.
i have a few other generic games that i find cool,.one is a game called "ghost catcher" and it plays the classical song, fur elise, over and over again.
i even had a "teenage mutant ninja turtles" game by konami
one of the coolest games i remember having was "ninja gaiden" by tiger. i didnt have it very long and lost it. but i remember it being damn fun.
i also had a nintendo zelda game watch. it played a lot like the nes game. it was wild. i think i got it for christmas one year. even though i wanted the super mario bros watch..i wasnt complaining that i got zelda instead.

I had this fancy-schmancy LCD Darth Vader head that came with a little blaster. You'd shoot at Imperial Storm Troopers, but they too had two frames of animation, and the computer rarely recognized a hit, and it always made a little blaster noise when I shot it. And I seem to remember the blaster chaffing at my finger.
I think I might still have it.

My dad bought a little hockey game thingie involving little red dots and trying to get a goal waaay back in 1977. He still has it, in fact; just opened it recently, and the damn thing looks brand-new. Neat, huh?

I have that lying around in some closet. Not such great fun, but at least it plays a part of the cartoon theme song when you win.
I also had some game where you had to drive around in a Formula 1 circuit and collect flags, refuel and dodge other racers. And another one which was pretty much identical, except there was a hot air balloon instead of a racecar.

I remember having one that was a Might Ducks shootout game. You had to try and get the puck past the two guys blocking the goals. It was pretty easy, but hella fun.

hmm....so exactly how old are you, bond? must be tough being that old and single, eh?
im assuming that youre single. cause any man with a girl that spends countless hours away posting frantically on an internet message board, and not devoting quality time to his woman, would have recieved a sharp blow over his head with a thick rolled-up newspaper.
