Rarely, ever so rarely, you come across something in the wild which is missing from your collection and also not extortionately priced, and you snag it.

After my brush with luck last week, I’m just one game away from having a dream Game & Watch collection. Here’s how the selection of multi-screen games is currently looking.

It’s also good to finally have the Donkey Kong trifecta. Three stone cold gaming classics.
(I know there’s a couple more in the Micro VS. System series, but it’s not on the cards to collect those)

@heliomass@mstdn.ca I have 1 & 2, but not the jr.

@heliomass@mstdn.ca They are very beautiful, although I doubt that these games are enjoyable for the younger generations today.

If you want to learn a bit more about how to get a collection under control (it creeps up on you after a while when you realise you’ve unintentionally been accumulating things over the years), then I wrote a bit about the experience.

@jozsi@masto.es I’d agree. They’re more display pieces or curiosities to pick up and play for a few minutes (although some of these games have a lot more depth than people would think!). I think their truest value is as a document of gaming history.
