    How many of the Nintendo Game/Watch did Mego offer?

    Overseas there were so many different LCD handheld video games/watches offered by Nintendo. How many did different ones did Mego import and sell to the North American market?

    I think it was only a few of the early silver series, maybe three?

    Toss-Up (Ball), Flag Man & Vermin spring to mind.

    There are a bunch of G&W sites out there that should have the answer.

        Ah yeah I probably should have checked out the galleries here first! Thanks B.

        So "Fireman Fireman" is Fire, "Toss Up" is Ball, "The Exterminator" is Vermin and "Flag Man" is Flag Man. Mego "Time Out" titles are in red, regular Nintendo titles in black.

          It took me minute to remember we had these

          I seem to recall "Dodge City" as well...

            I had a football game from Mego. Which was odd, since I hated (and still do hate) football. And yet I played it quite a bit.

              Cool. Fire an was a good game. I don't know what the story is on these... Whether the writing was already on the wall, but perhaps if Mego chose some of the better games they might have done better?

              So I guess mego was gone by the time they did the two screen games like donkey kong?

                Learn something new everyday! From time to time. I find one of these game/watches in thrift stores and snatch'm up. They sell pretty well on Greedbay for me. But I never knew Mego had any relation to them. Although I must say. I dont think the ones I find/sell are Mego ones.

                  If they have "game and watch" written on them, they would be the original Nintendo ones from Japan.

                    So, safe to assume the Mego versions are marked "Mego" on the back?
