I had this game. My uncle brought it from West Germany to my brother and I in Yugoslavia in November 1984. I remember when I brought this game to school (I was grade eight), everyone wanted to play. It was much better than anyone else had it back then. It brings back so many memories...
Wow that brought back some memories. I actually had one of these in the early 1980's. My uncle brought it back from his job working in Asia. I already had the B&W screen Snoopy Tennis, and many kids in school had the other ones like Parachute (or the dual screen Donkey Kong if they were rich kids). I NEVER saw anyone else with a panorama Game and Watch. This is probably why they're so rare today, although the Popeye movie bombing in 1980 probably had something to do with it too (I had to sit through it at the cinema for some kid's 8th birthday). Tragically my game disappeared in a house move - it's a shame because I did actually keep the box. I still remember the music though.
Hooray! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. And that's interesting comparing the appearance to the NES version, the panorama Game & Watches really do look nice! Thank you for watching. :)
I love that the multi screen is like the DS, and the micro vs is like the switch, I wonder if Nintendo will make something like the super color or panorama screen....
Good job on the videos as always my friend keep up the awesome work I remember playing Popeye on the NES it was fun its so nice to see stuff that reminds me of my childhood ah the joys of being an old man well take care my friend I hope you have an awesome day I am really enjoying the content of your channel and I am looking forward to new and exciting content stay safe my friend
Thank you so much, Jake! Things that were fun back then are definitely still fun today! I'm glad this video could bring back some happy memories. Take care! :)
I used no have this game back in the 80s but bought as a broken screen for 50 p from a friend and hoping to fix it. Loved the music. It never got fixed
Unfortunately the days of finding them at thrift stores are likely gone for good, but I did find this one for a good deal in a local listing. Thank you for watching, and good luck hunting in Scandinavia! :)
I have the tabletop of this and its great. Not sure why no one wanted it. It was just there when i saw it. Still its fun. Wish people would know about the tabletops more. But its still there. Its real.
This was an interesting one! I loved Popeye as a kid. I was a healthy foods kid so veggies and fruits weren't a big deal for me but I was picky about them. Spinach from the can was the one veggie I refused to eat. It just looked and felt gross to me. I love spinach leaves so much more than the wet can spinach!
Haha, as a kid the soggy spinach from the can was what I would usually get as well! I ate it, but it was far from my favorite to consume. Thank you for watching! :)
It sorta makes me think that Popeye should’ve been the final DLC fighter for Smash Ultimate. Think about it, both Nintendo and Popeye have something in common. XD
Hello, I hope you can help me. I really enjoy your videos and I have been collecting many Game and Watches recently. I also bought this one too, but theres a problem with it that I just cannot figure out. It works fine, but after a few days I find it completely reset, as if the ACL button was pressed. I have checked everything, cleaned everything, changed batteries multiple times, taken it apart and cleaned it and I even applied new solder on the battery connections.. but nothing it still happens... Have you ever come across this issue before? Any help would be great.. All the best, Danny.
So it works fine, but if you just leave it for a few days you'll come back to find that it has reset? Can you continue to use it normally afterwards? It sounds like there might be a loose connection somewhere.
@@TheGameDisplay thank you for your reply I really appreciate it. So yes it works ok whilst playing it but it’s when I go back to it a few days it’s completely reset. I want my scores saved so that’s why it bothers me a bit. I thought it was because something was loose but I’ve already taken it completely apart and cleaned it thoroughly even though it wasn’t dust it dirty in the first place. I’m guessing there’s a fault on the motherboard itself but that’s a bit beyond my skill level !

Great video, there's not a lot of content out there about the Panorama Screen game and watches. I guess they were kind of rare!
Thank you so much for watching! I'm happy that you found it interesting. :)
This isn't Game and Watch Month! Ah well, Game and Watches are and will always be cool to learn about and experience
Haha, better late than never! Thank you so much for your kind comment. :)

Full color game and watch looks awesome, these colors and sprites are so nice.
The Panorama Game & Watches really are cool for that reason! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it. Thank you for watching! :)
Woohoo; Game and Watch day 31+! I enjoyed your review, Andrew. Great job.
I would say this has better GFX than the Famicom/NES version.
Hooray! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. And that's interesting comparing the appearance to the NES version, the panorama Game & Watches really do look nice! Thank you for watching. :)

Didn´t know it´s still possible finding those gems out in the wild. Haven't found one for the last 14 - 15 years. But i´m from Scandinavia, so...
Unfortunately the days of finding them at thrift stores are likely gone for good, but I did find this one for a good deal in a local listing. Thank you for watching, and good luck hunting in Scandinavia! :)
Got one of these in scandinavia
@@TheGameDisplay You lucky B....... XD
Would be awesome for NES, SNES and N64 Games to come out on those things. I would buy a Majora's Mask Panorama Screen Game and Watch
I have the tabletop of this and its great. Not sure why no one wanted it. It was just there when i saw it. Still its fun. Wish people would know about the tabletops more. But its still there. Its real.
This was genius....I had all 4 or 5 table toos
This guy is a GAMER GOD!!!
No way! But thank you for watching. :)
i really want one so bad but the price now is killer
How much do they sell for? I have Snoopy and Popeye?

I'd love to know who drew the art for this. It's possible it was Shigeru Miyamoto himself, though I don't know how likely.

Nice video
Thank you! :)
Damn .. i thought i just dreamt of these weird devices when i was a kid .. but they were real then .. cool 😮
You look like Adam Lanza
