Game&Watch 59, 60 or 61 collection games???? was created by Gameandwatch.se
Hi !

I have two questions for all of you collectors of Game&Watch.

1)
Why are the Micro vs. a Game&Watch collection??
I mean there is no G&W logo on the box, the game or in the instruction manual.

2)
All people knew there was 59 games sold in public. OK
The most collectors say it´s 60 games with the Special edition of Super Mario YM-901-s
Question is why the collectors don´t count 61 games total becaurse of the Greenhouse 20,000,000 edition???

Grateful for all kinds of opinions.

Fredrik from Sweden.

the first question I don't know


59 official Game & Watch

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_%26_Watch
(it's in German but you can translate...)

Nr 60 is the YM-901
and with Judge Purple they are 61 for a complete collection.

The rest I don't count, there is also a Special Edition from the game Ball (Reproduction)...
Green House Limited Edition I don't know about...

Maybe the others here have another opinion.

Hi Fredrik and welcome here!

I believe there is no “100% correct answer” to your questions.
Every collector has his own opinion and point of view.

To your first question: I count this series as Game&Watch because it was released in 1984. At a time, when other Game&Watch games have been released before and after. I don’t know why the Game&Watch logo is missing in this series.

To your second question: Some collectors count Judge as one game, some count them as two games. I count Judge as one game. The green and purple versions are variations, but no new, different game.

I count SMB YM-901 as one game. It never was sold to the public, but still I count it because it’s another, different Game&Watch game.

I don’t count the 20’000’000 Green House, because it’s a variation of the regular Green House.

OK, thanks!
So I had too make my own thought abut it.

I count Judge green and purple as one game, so mabye Greenhouse special edition should counts like one game???

In touch!
