My desire to get involved with the whole 3D printing scene has been halted every time I look at the prices of 3D printers (although they are coming down)

So my 3D lust has had to be satisfied through a different type of 3D creativity…..

★ What Was Your Favourite Game & Watch ? ★ #Retrogaming # GamersUnite

I was reminded recently of some of the great handheld LCD games I would play as a 10 year old.

It would be a frequent sight to see a friend in the playground playing one of these cool games and they became one of the must have toys.

These handheld games were pre Gameboy and consisted of a moving image that would have a limited set of movements played out over an infinite loop that meant the aim for the player was to basically better the High Score.

Generally you found that the game got faster as your score got higher and you normally had around 3 lives to play with before it was GAME OVER....

I did some digging to see if I could find some of the great games that used to play.

From memory I started with the Game & Watch games released by Nintendo....
