Rare Promo Game Snoopy Tennis
I have already reported a few times on rare promotional versions of Game & Watch games. And it was always hard to believe that there should be more of other such games.
But again such a rarity appeared: A Snoopy Tennis with a special stop-logo and the inscription HYDRAULIQUE DE FREINAGE. Literally translated, this means: Hydraulic brakes.
The game is currently on sale on ebay:
