Game and Watch Donkey Kong


Yeah I was going to be clever and mention that you can now get this in the US via Club Nintendo, for the DS. It includes three original 'Game and Watch' titles, of which, Donkey Kong was the one I had as a kid.

Register your DS or Wii games to get gold coins, then you can redeem them for weird Nintendo related shwag. The games come with a printed serial number. Remember to stop and look at all those health warning flyers that you normally throw straight away, and other useless little pieces you get, as the codes are on the back of one of them (somewhere).

Complete a survey, get coins. Do enough surveys, cash in your coins, get stuff.

I don't have enough coins for this particular trip down memory lane... yet.

Here is the full text of these historic words

One of my fave parts....

"We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do."

The technology agenda

Retro classic gaming tales part 1 of ..er.. we'll see

At the end of 2008 I heard more classic gaming stories, than in previous years.

So here's my journey...

The earliest game I can remember is a yellow LED battery powered game, Galaxy Invader 1000 that was something like Galaxians... only er... not quite. Played it to death, and I remember it being VERY hard!



I originally put the entire gaming history of Krysss.com towers in one post. However it became a long list of YouTube videos which while a lot of people would identify with, wouldn't really be that interesting. So I need to go away and try to remember some vaguely interesting stories to put around these games.

As for this little plastic game, I cannot remember much about it, but I am shocked I could track it down online.
