Finnisch Manual
Instructions for the Game & Watch Games are available in several different languages. Newly discovered was a manual in Finnish for the game DJ Junior of the New Wide Screen series. A nice find of a retrogame collector named GameCollector90.
In Finland the games were imported and sold by the Finnish company Kioskkette Rautakirja. The manual is an original and was part of the Game DK Junior, which GameCollector90 had bought on the Swiss Ricardo auction platform.
The seller bought the game originally in 2004 on an auction platform in Finland.
Many thanks to GameCollector90 for the info and the photo!

Game&Watch Discovery of the Year!
Collectors of Game&Watch very well know the colorful Pocketsize Games that were released in the USA and Canada. And collectors know the nice carded Games as well. But up until now, no one ever has seen a carded Pocketsize Game!Our member Ash888 made the discovery of the year – a carded Pocketsize Snoopy Tennis SP-30 from the Wide Screen Series! An incredible find!
Ash actually owns this game now. He bought it a few weeks ago off a seller from the USA. Unfortunately the seller didn’t tell (or know?) anything further about this rare piece of Game&Watch history.
How many more carded Pocketsize Games are out there...?
