    "I just think they're probably one of the nicest Nintendo looking devices ever made"
    Couldn't agree more mate. They're the type of device that very little can go wrong with, and even less that can't be put to rights. Even the broken latches on the multi-screen games are fixable with a bit of effort. My personal favourite is the same as yours, Donkey Kong. They are beautiful devices to get hold of. It really does prove that fancy graphics or fast paced gameplay aren't what make a good game. Excellent restoration. You are what first inspired me to collect and restore. Keep it up!

    I recently purchased a batch of 14 G&W. All with stained screens on the back. I'm fixing everyone, at the same time it's becoming therapy for me. My last major repair was a Gameboy Light belonging to a good friend of mine who collects video games. I removed the silver back film from a Gameboy Pocket screen and inserted it into the GBL without any film and the result was perfect. Thanks for sharing so much good content Eliot. I'm always following your channel. congratulations. Felipe Martins from Brazil.

      The Baby Boomer generation spanned from 1946 to 1964 / 1966 (the exact end date isn't very clear, but it's either of them). If he/she was a 7-year-old in the 80s, and this released in 1988, he/she would've been born in the early 80s (most likely), which is the end of Generation X and the start of the Millenials. He/she is most likely one of those.

I actually had this game growing up but it was in the shape of a miniature game boy on a keychain, I think it was a "Nintendo Mini Classic" and they were available at the dollar store for quite a bit, but it was the same exact game as this! Anyway, a lot funner than I would have guessed!

Hard to pull off, but Nintendo has managed to keep doing it over the years.

    2:32 Actually, a good portion of the G&W games are about pattern recognition, like with BALL, BOXING, DONKEY KONG, RAIN SHOWER, and others.
    6:54 I'd watch you restore and talk about Game & Watch games for an hour...I love these LCD games. They may not of been cutting-edge as far as tech goes but for what they do, it's fantastic, plus there's so many of them, it's a subject that would have lots of hours' worth of discussion... So yes, more, s'il vous plait.
    Also, grats on completing the first few levels. Some G&W games are really difficult...like _Mario's Cement Factory_ and _Oil Panic_ to name a couple.

    Elliot... just because something is a "handheld" doesn't mean it can't be a console. From Wikipedia: "A video game console is a computer device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game that one or more people can play". A Game Boy is a video game console, and at least by my interpretation of the definition, so is a Game & Watch. It's just the little details in your videos that I can't help but correct sometimes :P

    You can also get 1-up mushrooms and stars by bumping the platform youre under by pressing jump under it.

    You can reverse sun damage on shells by submerging them in 3% hydrogen peroxide and shining UV light on them (uv ledstrip). Keep them in the solution under the uv light for 12 hours, change around every 3 hours for even lighting. Pretty much all sun damage is gone after this treatment!!

    It's better to use LR43 batteries for the longevity of the device btw; LR44 works obviously, but it also puts a strain on the plastic because it's like a millimetre thicker. You may even notice the seam on that side bulges a bit. I've even lost a battery door to this! It fractured in half from the pressure over time.

    • @MrYanmania

    This is actually a misnomer some people get about Nintendo's family mindset it wasn't always true as at some point back in the day during the SNES-GC (Unsure about the NES) eras Nintendo were much more power focused as the systems they made tried to outbeat the competition in the power department the GC power wise was actually stronger then the PS2. But they started taking a backseat with the Wii and then on using family centered marketing and versatility and in there defense it worked as the Wii gave both the PS2 and 3 a good run for its money for awhile.
    But many fans take there modern mentality and apply it to the old style mentality like that was always there mentality maybe way back then before the NES but definitely after the NES they started getting more power focused. That being said this pull back on the power Wii and onward wasn't without a price while third party support was a weak point of Nintendo's it got weaker after the Wii and wouldn't really recover to where it was at until the Switch and even now its still a little weak in some places when compared to the competition but its definitely better then where it was.

    Hey, Game & Watch - the best. Where'd you source the peroxide solution? that percentage strength was banned from sale quite a while back, even hairdressers can't get it, I think 5 or 6% is the max now (could be wrong). Also where'd you get the UV light box thing from? I think people have asked these questions here already but you've not replied, answer your people man. I'm apprehensive about taking the faceplate off, those things bend easy but don't straighten out very well, yours looks ok from this distance but what's it like up close after you stuck it back on? Looks like great results tho, well done.

    It’s kinda gross but I sort of love when you can see dirt around the buttons and in the grooves because to me that says it’s been well loved. This Game and Watch really does look like it’s meant a lot to some one or maybe even multiple people throughout it’s time.
    I felt the same way about that sun damaged 1500¥ Hello Kitty GameBoy you refurbed a while ago, that looked so loved, then again I think if I owned a Hello Kitty GameBoy it would have been really well loved.

    I had this back in the day. It unfortunately was stolen from my coat pocket in the swimming baths cloak room. I was so gutted. It's weird to see it again.

    I’ve got the same model in new condition. If you press jump+restart you’ll start at 3rd level and if you jump under platforms you sometimes get invincibility or extra life

    It was really nice without the voice-over, but for longer video or more complex processes I enjoy the voice-over to explain what is going on
