Mario's Cement Factory. I had this as a kid. I wish I still did. I'm seriously considering eBaying it, but I did manage to find the Nintendo Mini Classics version. Plus Game & Watch Gallery 4 has it, so I have options now  .

One of my favourite was the dual screen version of Donkey Kong Jr which was quite popular. I still have it but I need batteries.  |

Would that be Donkey Kong 2 by any chance? I actually have one of those too... |

You're right, my mistake.

Donkey Kong Jr - the rarer single screen version, not the dual-screen one.
Donkey Kong 1,the first dual screen Game & Watch, is also a great one.
Octopus was fun.
Actually, a lot of these toys were honorable games.

When I was a lad I had a Game & Watch where Mickey Mouse had to collect eggs before they hit the ground.
I got ludicrously good at that game.

When I was a lad I had a Game & Watch where Mickey Mouse had to collect eggs before they hit the ground. I got ludicrously good at that game. Re-releases and certain places without the Disney license of that game replaced Mickey with a wolf and just called the game "Egg". It's even on Game & Watch Gallery 3 with a version with Yoshi.  I wish Club Nintendo still offered the G&W Collection. I don't think I'll be able to legit play the Donkey Kong G&W now without second-hand markup. I kick myself for going for the Ball Game & Watch that I've barely used, which cost more coins, to boot. At least some other G&W titles are sold on DSiWare/eShop for $2 a pop. |

I also loved Konami's Lone Ranger handheld LCD game. I was so happy when I finally finished it (it wasn't an easy game). My mother bought it because she loved Lone Ranger series when she was a kid. As an '80s kid I had no idea about the francise. handheldempire.com/game.jsp?game=1034 |

The one I played the most (And which I still own) was the Acclaim Knight Rider LCD game.
My sister had a 1943 one in the same range, which is mine now too.
EDIT: Decided to upload a quick video of my copies, figured it'd be more interesting than linking to the website linked in OPs post (Which also shows the packaging, which I don't have sadly)

Heh, yeah it was a bit of a spur of the moment sort of thing, I don't normally make videos, so its unlikely I'd invest in stuff like that. But crap as they are, at least they let you see the games in action a bit.
The only other LCD games I have are 2 mini Game & Watch keychains I bought (Donkey Kong and Zelda). I don't use them much as I found them hard to see, but are a novelty so I'm glad I own them. (Proper ones are too expensive/a hassle to get)

*kick this old thread* Recently I've recreated some LCD game in JavaScript, and a couple of LCD game simulators are playable: Highway, Mario Bros and Sea Ranger The idea is based on www.pica-pic.com/ (flash website with 26 games) but I'm still missing a lot of features. See page below, they are only playable on pc/laptops using the keyboard. bdrgames.nl/lcdgames/It is a work-in-progress project and the source files are here: github.com/BdR76/lcdgame.js |

I enjoyed the Castlevania 2 LCD game more than the actual Castlevania 2 as a kid |

I enjoyed the Castlevania 2 LCD game more than the actual Castlevania 2 as a kid Ha, I had that one as a kid, too! Honestly can't say I have any "favorites" in this particular format, though. I remember playing one for the 1989 Batman movie, the original Double Dragon, and Ironsword, but they all paled in comparison to what Game Boy had to offer. It really burned my britches that I wasn't able to get one of those giant grey bricks at the time, and had to settle for what amounted to digital flip books. |
