Super Mario Bros. Game Watch



Super Mario Bros. Game Watch
Nintendo (circa 1989)
purchased for FREE!
UPDATE: Sold for $41

Don't you just love that super 70's afghan background? yeah, me too. I also love love LOVE Super Mario Bros. and everything with that lovable plumber's face on it. I have an extensive Nintendo game collection, and this is a great addition. I found this in a box of stuff that somebody was throwing out! Can you believe it! Now just imagine the kinds of things that have slipped through the garbage pickers' hands, right into the landfill. Oh, it's enough to make you want to cry.

Pac-Man Glass



Pac-Man Glass (circa 1980)
purchased for $3

Ooooh PAC-MAN! I spent hours of my youth (and not-so-youth) playing this magical maze game. This cup has great artwork and great colors. I have a love for these glasses with 80's characters...just don't make the same mistake I have made by using them! I have lost many a Star Wars and Indiana Jones glass via clumsy roommates.
