TEST - Sly's WWG collection

[slydc]

Oooooh! Some of these are going in my wish list. Nice share sly.

Thanks Z3ldanator, it is better when we can see a picture of a WWG instead of plain text.

That one is easy to answer to why Xbox made such cheap product, answer: these were freebies.
Unlike Nelsonic, people had to buy them so if you pay $$, then the quality is much better. The higher the $, the better the quality.

Not completely agreed on this Sly. The game watch freebies, promos, and the like compared to any from the 80's are well, crap!

Look at the Donkey Kong, or even the Tetris for example. Cost was surely cheap but the idea and creativity did so much with it. A company like Miscrosoft (X-Box ) even releasing such crap is a joke! With the technology of today watches should be cool, SMALLER!, and better. you should want to wear it. Kids don't even like it for a long shot! Seems creativity took a shortcut.

Look at the Crap called Nixon (PONG). What a joke! That watch could have easily added a little more styling for a better look. It's a bulky square with rubber bands! Also a simple add of a tiny bit of code would allow for some really cool games on it's grid display.

Another example that will make you laugh all day, the Ben 10 watch. I don't even have to explain! Also look at the Sky-Kids watch. Cool features but so bulky my son won't out it on for fear of ridicule.

Just a pet peeve of mine. More technology yet the 80's came out waaaaaaaay ahead. One other good example of this... CASIO. The best Casio watches, hands down to the floor, were from the 80's!

DOH!!!

Now do i feel stupid! Never saw this option. Is there a way to transfer all the pics in the album section without resending everything ?

Hi.
I think you can. I think it will give you the option. Try it and let me know. If not I may be able to help make it do so.

Thank you! I really enjoy your pictures!

PS> I like that one with 19 games. I have a couple handhelds that use the same programming. I know it's kinda of a new one right? Any idea where to get one?

Technology speaking, i agree that those made for Microsoft X-Box promos are totally crappy. Cheap plastic and cheap technology were used to produced those premiums. Even the games are either not that good or completely lame. Just wondering if the people who conceived those WWG ever played games.

For that one, i saw videos that people were enjoying their Nixon watch, it all depends in the eye of the beholder or their taste in style. On the side of game player like us, i agree that the company could have done way better but i think that this watch was more intended as a normal style watch than a WWG. Since i don't own a Nixon watch and thanks to you, i'll never will!

Do you know that the Nixon watch would make a hell of a great Microvision simulator ? With the technology we have now, all the Microvision games could be easely incorporated in a chip with the emulator and all the rest. Oh man! A Microvision WWG...now that would make me shit rainbows! LOL!!!!

For that one, i totally agree with you 200%! I gave to my son the Ben 10 watch and he too don't wear it. Damn this thing is bulky!

Casio Watches (anykind) are really great, i won't even debate or argue on this one. I have a Casio AE-20W that i still wear, this one been beaten, slammed, dropped, knocked so many time i don't remember and it still works. The casing never broke. This watch has taken some serious pounding while at work at it's still going. The only thing it that i changed at least 5-6 time were the bands and only 3 times the battery. Casio knows how to make watches...period!

Hi John,

Okely-Dokely, i'll try it and see if it works and if not then thanks very much in advanced for the help.

No prob for the pics, glad that you like them.

About the 19-in-1, it came out in 2000 so this WWG is already 12 years old. Brought mine 10 years ago on Ebay brand new.
It has many games that we can find in those XXX-in-1 cheap LCD handhelds Brick games. Check the picture were you see
the back of the box, it is actually the manual.

The only place i can think of that you could find one would be "Upay". One will surely pop up one day.

Found a web page that review the 19-in-1 watch and has even screenshot of the games:

These were sold for about $10 ten years back and it even kick the ass out of the Nixon Pong watch.
As an multi-game WWG, it rocks hard!
