Digital watches with games on'em

[Light n Hairy]

I had a couple of these back in the 80s but cant recall what make they were. One had a pacman-type game and the other, a badass kind of space game where your ship had to go across a maze without hitting enemy ships.

Then there were watches which had loads of melodies on them. Cant remember which make those were either.

And I'm not sure I want another one, but maybe I do. Does anyone have any of these watches still working?
This thread is a total shambles.

Jesus TF Christ, that's a blast from the distant.

I had a Double Dragon one of those when I was 8. It was kickass!

Used to have one of these. Casio a201, Blue Thunder.
Sadly I took it apart as I did with most things and broke it. Worth a small fortune these days.
In fact back in 1975/6 I got my first digital watch. Hours and minutes only. Red led, press the button and it lit up.

Like that. Same display, digital hands etc but forget the fine detail. So assume same model. Suspect I got mine in 1980.

Same inner module (103) was used on a small variety of case designs.

c.1981. Remember the myriad of cheap LCD watches with 'melody alarm' that always played 'The Yellow Rose of Texas'?

Yes I do, in fact it is the only bloody melody that goes round in my head when I think back to those childhood days spent riding my bike back from school and hearing the watch music play, barely audible above the wind noise.

Ahhhh. What little it took to please me then.

I had one of these when I was 10, some 30 years ago. I absolutely loved it!.

The competition at my school was to count the number of functions. The more you had, regardless with how useful they were, then the better you and your watch were.
