I was going through some boxes and found my old "Game & Watch".
The Game & Watch were handheld electronic games made by Nintendo and created by its game designer Gunpei Yokoi from 1980 to 1991. Most featured a single game that could be played on an LCD screen, in addition to a clock and an alarm. (read wiki)
Think of them as the grandparent of your Nintendo DS and Sony PSP. This particular one was made in the year 1982, but I didn't actually own it until 1990. That would make it 30 years old and it has been in my posession for 19 years.
Wow, I feel really old all of a sudden.
