Watch Reviews

i am a forty two year old man who has always had trouble reading clocks, the ones with the hour and minute hand pointers especially. we bought this for my daughter originally, but i must admit i use it more than she does! it's wonderful!

I've gone through many watches and wristbands, because they always get caught on something. This is what I've been waiting for, I can clip it out of the way and still have quik access to check the time.

I bought this for my 4 yr old last summer and he used it all summer long. It has a durable hook-and-loop strap and the top snaps very securely. It works best for very small insects such as ladybugs, lovebugs, and crickets. My son has even put very tiny frogs in it. Insects such as dragonflies and butterflies are too large for it. It also came with a plastic toy bug in it and he loved using the fake bug to scare grandparents and other relatives.

I brought this game sometime between 1995-1997. I wondered at first what this game was so i did a little research on it. It turned out that back in the 80s, before the Gameboy era and the NES, there were games alled Game and Watch. Each Game came with its own handheld system. They were widely popular back then. Now they're back for a whole new generation that missed these games. In this first edition, there are Oil Panic, Fire, Octopus, and Manhole (the modern version my personal favorite). This game was great. The graphics on the Super Gameboy was awesome and the music that accompanied it was great too. Your goal is to obtain five stars in each mode (easy and hard) in each version (classic which are the originals and the modern which are the updated ones).In all you have to get 100 stars in the entire game. Once you accomplish that feat, (it took me 2 whole years to do it)there is a special ending (don't wanna spoil the surprise), so ya'll find out for yourselves...

Game and watch gallery takes four cheesy liquid crystal display early nintendo games into one big phenomenon and features inturupt save feature. Just pause turn gameboy off and continue when you start again. has original game and watch games (easy and hard)and modern has your favorite characters. Mario Luigi toad Princess toadstool and donkey kong Jr. with improved graphics and sound and music

This is the second of the Game and Watch compilation series. With classics from when Nintendo first made handheld games with built in alarm clocks, you'll keep pretty busy. The games go on and on making you want to see how high of a score you can get. Still, it wont keep you too busy for long trips. They should've added just a few more games and made USEFUL special features. This is why I give it 4 stars.

This game is alot of fun it has many cool games on which can be played in either black and white or in color. I didn't have the time to play it and i just couldn't figure it out but what i could figure out is that it is a lot of fun to play.

I bought this game after game and watch gallery 3. I was amazed that i was like how did they do the graphics so real? When i knew that ball was in this game i was happy. After i played the classic in hard in easy mode i realized that the hard was easy and the easy was hard. Since the hard was easy i was scoring to get a 1000 points as usual instead i got 2000 something. Parachute is like fire but instead of Mario and Luigi holding a stretcher mario was in a boat and another boat up in the sky dropping the people. Helmet is a not to hard and not to easy game in the easy mode and it was al;most very hard in the hard mode and very very hard in the very hard mode. Chef was funny. In the modern mode mario and luigi kept throwing food for princess to cook. And in the classic the mouse would eat the food if it fell on the floor. And last but not least Donkey kong. you have to save princess from Dk s.r. All i'm trying to say is that this game will make you forget what world you are in.

It just seems to me that the set isn't very big and PROBABLY not worth the fifty dollars or so you're going to spend on it. These are the Legos of the 21st century, and I yearn for sets like those of the 1980s. They were much more fun and much more worth it.

I currently own all three game and watch games. I enjoyed playing the classic games that our generation (those born around 1986,87,88,or 89) never played or heard of before. All three game and watch games for the game boy and game boy color were great,except ball, which was not sooo great. Anyhow, when i first heard about Game and Watch gallery 4 coming out for the game boy advance, i got excited and i wondered what new games would be in it. When i read one of the reviews that were written for this game, and saw that it was mostly repeats, i was shocked and i decided not to buy it. I mean at that point, what's the use of spending [$$] on a game that has games from Game and watch gallery 1,2 and 3. Just a few days back, i read the new reviews written for this game and it turned out i was mistaken. there are a total of 20 games in game and watch gallery 4. 12 new never before played games, and 8 old games from the previous three game and watch games. well its up to ya peoples to figure out what they are, dont wana spoil the surprise, so i aint gonna go in depth. I thought about it, and decided i should buy it. i mean more than half the game is new, so why shouldn't i buy it. so anyway, i saw some pictures of the game, and the graphics were awesome. i haven't played the game yet, so i expect one of you peoples to write about how the controls and sound were. Well, that's all i've got to say. i'll write more about this game when i get it and play it. then i will give ya peoples my final opinion. until then smell ya lata!!!!

I will admit that I enjoyed this game for around a week or so. The gameplay was repititous, and took alot more time than I would take to finish the levels. I still play it on and off, although I paid $40 for the dang thing(wish I would have checked amazon.com before making that splurge)

Game & Watch games are the ancestors of all video games. They were extremely popular in the early 1980s. The graphics were simple, clear, and aesthetic. Most importantly, the game play is fast, fun, and exciting. To the younger generation gamers, these games might seem stupid but they are not. I have all 3 previous gallery games and this is the BEST!

You start with 6 games: Fire, boxing, rain shower, Mario's cement factory, donkey kong jr, and donkey kong 3. As you get higher and higher scores for each game you get more games! You can unlock: Chef, Mario bros, donkey kong, octopus, and fire attack. All the games are replicated exactly like the original LCD hand-helds, the "clear colored background sheets" are beautifully recreated by the GBA. Then there is a modern version for each game, the graphics are updated, famous nintendo characters are used, the movements smooth rather than "spot to spot", and for most part the game play remains similar. Then you can unlock 9 more games but they can only be played in classic mode: Manhole, tropical fish, Mario's bombs away, parachute, bomb sweeper, climber, safebuster, life boat, and zelda. Mario's bombs away is a great game and the orignal hand-held was cool and worked like a projection tv with glowing colors. The "time keepers/alarm ring holders" are eliminated, it would be nice if they were kept for cool visual purposes. For the double screen games such as donkey kong, one screen is shrunk down and you can toggle between the two screens, Nintendo messed up here a bit but you can't really blame them...

This is a must have for all old school gamers. Its also a great chance to play and cherish other game & watch games you always wanted to play or own but didn't because you can't afford them all back in the days.

I urge younger generation gamers to give this a try. The gameplay is very simple, logical, fast, and yet challenging.

I want to thank Nintendo for making this game! Another one would be nice, gallery 5?! There are plenty of other great game & watch games such as Donald & Mickey and Popeye. Other games from gallery 1, 2, and 3 should be made into GBA format like the 4. Some of them are: Egg/Mickey mouse, oil panic, green house, and snoopy. Overall this game is totally awesome, a must buy.

This game rocks! It is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It has 5 fun games to play. The Mario brothers game is REALLY HARD. I cannot play it at all. You can choose if you want to play each game in the classic mode (which is dull)or the new kind. (which is fun) You might enjoy Gallery 2 also. I enjoyed both of them and you probably will too.

I bought this game without having seen/read any reviews and I have to say that I enjoy it greatly. It has quickly become one of my favorite games.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 is described as 5 games in one, but it is really more like fifteen. The first five games are: Egg, Greenhouse, Turtle Bridge, Mario Bros., and Donkey Kong Jr. Each of these games was originally available as an LCD Game & Watch title (the handheld game also served as a timepiece, hence the name). Each game has a classic (the original LCD game) and modern (updated with flagship Nintendo characters) mode, and they are different enough for me to consider them to be separate games. For instance, in the classic version of Egg, you control a wolf trying to catch eggs as they roll down ramps. In the modern version of Egg, you control Yoshi and use your tongue to swipe cookies as they roll down ramps, at the same time making sure not to eat any Bob-ombs. While the basic concept is the same, I consider this to be two games. Each game has two difficulty settings, and the modern games have a third extra-hard setting when you have earned more than 1000 points on a game.

An interesting aspect of this cartridge is the rewards system. While playing the games, you collect stars. One star is earned for every 200 points you get in a game. The stars open up new options in the Gallery part of the game, accessible at the main menu. In the Gallery, you can play with music, get tips on the games, visit a museum to view information on classic Nintendo games (you can see more stuff if you link with other Game & Watch titles), and view other secrets. After you earn 50 stars, you are able to view a cute little animation. While I am no where near having all of the stars, I believe there is a total of 120.

I said that I consider this cartridge to be fifteen games in one and the rewards system is where the extra five games come from. As you earn certain numbers of stars (I'm not sure of the exact numbers), you are able to play extra games. The extra five games are Judge (also a 2P game if someone else has Game & Watch Gallery 3), Flagman, Lion, Spitball Sparky, and Donkey Kong II. These games do not have a modern mode.

The best feature of this cartridge is the ability to pause a game you are playing and then turn the Game Boy off. When you turn it on again, your game will still be at the place where you paused.

Overall, Game & Watch Gallery 3 is an excellent game. While it is true that it can get boring if you play it long enough, it is still fun enough to come back to later. With the variety of games on the cartridge, it is an excellent travel game for long roadtrips/flights. Definitely a five star game.

I bought this for my young son (age four). The controls are easy and the pictures easy to see. The games are fun and easy to learn. He has had very little problems with this game. I have enjoyed playing on it as well.

Enjoy.
Worth the money.

I'm a Monopoly fan. I use to play the board game for hours. This PC game is exactly as the original game (even the tokens), but have some problems. The board is moving all the time and makes you feel dizzy, tokens jump all over the board (it's funny for a couple of minutes), the voices are also annoying. So, the game is ok, but you can get bored of voices and movement after 5 minutes and that's not good for such a long game.

I'm sorry to have to give a 3 to this game - it's a great game, but I had to lower its rating because it has a few bugs and missing features.

First, the good things. It's certainly true to the board game. It includes all of the properties and pieces that you find in the original board game, plus the extra ones found more recently such as the sack of money. Basically, if you like the board game, this is a great computer game to own and it's fun to play.

One of the best features that it has is the ability to add "custom rules." You know the rules I'm talking about - rules that we always include when playing in real life, but are not exactly in the monopoly rules (such as a Free Parking Jackpot). These custom rules also allow you to change the amount of money you start with, the amount of money for landing on various spaces, and deal out all of the properties at the start of the game for a shorter game. The music is catchy and the voices are good (sometimes annoying, but they can be turned off). You can also play with custom boards or boards from the "cities" versions of the game.

Now, the bad things. On my computer, I'm having a redraw problem where sometimes the buttons stay on the screen but disappear when moused on. I suppose this could be an anomoly and/or a conflict with my video card. However, a major problem is that your settings (such as turning off voices) are not kept for the next game you play, Nor are they kept if you restore a saved game. Also, a computer player can interrupt you at any time to build houses/hotels or offer a trade, which can get irritating when you're trying to research something and you have to wait for it to go crazy with trades and/or building.

The extra boards are just plain buggy, with names of properties at times not matching chance cards, deeds, and/or voices. I also have had problems getting custom boards and the calculator to work properly. I spent 2 hours creating a custom board, only to find that when I tried to use it, it would no longer load in either the board creator or the game itself.

In all, this is a great Monopoly game that I enjoy playing. However, it has some bugs and issues that need to be worked out. I'm hoping for a patch.

Sometimes I often forget about hot important the older board games seem to turn out to be. Especially when it comes to the roll of the dice. Either that, or nobody plays with me, when I'm alone. That seems to be the case with all the classic video games and board games too. When I look at that within games like Scrabble and Sorry, I see it within a little time. One other game I see it with that lapsed time is Monopoly. The only time I get to see it, is when I enjoy it.

With this edition of Monopoly for the P.C., it goes a little bit further, with the dazzling sound effects and animation. Although I've played it originally for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, I rediscovered that joy on P.C. The realisic graphics and animation are just amazing, but the one drop theme music is a little bit batty. The other thing I like about this game is the different gameplay boards. It is like getting ten different Monopoly games for the price of 1. That actually works a little bit more, because you don't get board and bored within the same board. Still, I was surprised about how long it takes until the game ends, but that is another story. What I also like about this version, is that you also can customize your very own style of the game board, to add more of the fun in the game.

Still, I got my version through an offer for a free CD-ROM version of Monopoly through a cereal box offer. But, if you love the classics with your kids, I really think this would be a great gift for anybody, even if you have to play alone. I just wish that more of the great classics could make it this big for the computer as soon as possible. Sometimes, you need to search like a wild goose chase to make it work. Hopefully, you won't have to with Monopoly.

I am an 8-year-old girl who got this watch for Christmas 2001. It stopped working in May, 2002. It sometimes gets stuck on timer. Sometimes the backlight won't turn off, and sometimes it won't turn on. The stopwatch runs on and on, even if I press the start, stop, and reset buttons. I am not happy with this watch. I find it hilarious that it's called IronKids.

I had problems with three watchs that I bought. The first one just beeped continuously after about 2 weeks. The second one never was on. The third one worked great for around 5 months and then the light was always on and none of the buttons worked, but the time was on. This would be a great watch if it lasted longer.

Our eight-year old son received this watch for Christmas. It's very good looking, user friendly, and fun. Problem: The light quit working after a month, and the stopwatch quit working after 5 months. It would be a great product if it was more durable.
